I had my annual summit with a good Higher Education friend last week. He was one of my first virtual-only connections and always brings valuable perspective for me. He talked about restaurants. Over the course of time, many restaurants open and a certain percentage of them will close for a variety of reasons. Bad food, bad location, bad pricing, high costs, poor financial management – and the list goes on.Restaurants are reviewed by any number of website and publications. There are

It is the week before Thanksgiving and my prediction of the college closure rate picking up steam has not yet developed. I still believe that there are scores of colleges out there without the resources to be viable. My concern is now moving toward how many of these will wait too long and must announce their closure with very short notice to students, faculty, staff, and communities. Time will tell.For this economic imbalance to get to some sort of supply and demand equilibrium, many more

I want to start off this week’s podcast with a personal observation. I watched some 40- 50,000 people run in the Chicago Marathon yesterday. It was a spectacle of humanity to see so many people invest so much into a challenging endeavor like running 26.2 milesWatching some 50,000 people pass you in a matter of about 90 minutes, is a lot of humankind. As I was watching those tens of thousands of souls, it was easy to make the connection to a higher education number. 40,000 is about the
