America’s colleges and universities have a serious revenue problem - BRIAN C. MITCHELL, Hechinger Report

Painting a grim picture for American higher education, Moody’s Investors Service recently changed the industry’s outlook from “stable” to “negative.” This return to negative ratings reinforces a number of trends that bear close review. The facts are clear and inescapable. The comprehensive fee – tuition, fees, room and board – will approach $70,000 a year at a number of high sticker priced colleges and universities. Students and their families are voting with their feet, with 46 percent of first-time students beginning or having had some experience in community colleges. http://hechingerreport.org/opinion-americas-colleges-universities-serious-revenue-problem/
