Vedder's wish list
Richard Vedder, who teaches Economics at Ohio University and heads the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, has published his list of the 10 cost-cutting measures the current economic crunch might lead colleges to adopt. Building on the remarks he made at ACTA's moderated discussion on the future of higher education, Vedder argues that colleges will have no choice but to consider, amongst others, increasing teaching loads, assessing tenure, halting the athletics arms race, scaling back administrative spending and using technology to lower costs. On this latter point, another ACTA friend, Kevin Carey of Education Sector, has a fine piece in the current issue of Washington Monthly.
