This is the podcast that talks about the financial health and viability of public and private colleges with data, details and perspectives offered nowhere else. This podcast is the alternative media source for colleges, students, families, and communities. I work every week to expose the spin, the stalls, and the silliness that pervades Higher Education in America.

This week:

+ Bellwether warns of school closures, consolidations ahead. You will be surprised when I share what part of the market this headline addresses.

+ Peter Khoury: The Manufactured Crisis: College Closures Are Not Abrupt. They're Allowed.

+ Why Elite Colleges Are Still Accepting Students From Their Waitlists

+ A day late and a dollar short story on a public college in Illinois.
+ And more . . . . . .
