Price of Admission


I just discovered an excellent program that appeared on CNBC titled Price of Admission: America's College Debt Crisis.  It is one of the most thorough treatments of the problem of college debt that I have seen and I am thinking of including it as a required text for the class -- to go along with a new reading: Bob Meister's "Debt and Taxes: Can the Financial Industry Save Public Universities?" which takes the conversation to a much deeper level of analysis.  There are just so many good materials on the privatization of public higher education that they are getting hard to choose among.
