This Week In College Viability (TWICV) for December 9, 2024
Manage episode 454706062 series 3526900
This week's episode has some action in layoffs and cutbacks. I thought we had an imminent closure, but Keystone College is still trying to ride out a nearly impossible financial situation with appeals of their accreditation removal. Poor students.
+ I have never used ‘fake news’ in this podcast before, but I have a story about college completion rates trending up that fits that categorization.
+ I have added a section on ‘College Drivel” ‘to talk stupidly or carelessly’. Prepare to nod your head in agreement.
+ Affluent White Students Are Skipping College, and No One Is Sure Why. I know why.
