- -Editorial: The Future of Higher Education (Time.com)
"Exactly 150 years ago, in the midst of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act, which launched the great and enduring public university system in America. Even during the most wrenching conflict in our history, Lincoln was thinking of the future. This week, in the midst of a taut presidential election, we look to the future of higher education in America. Both candidates weigh in: we have essays from President Obama and Governor Romney. In our special report, we examine the challenges facing higher education. Only 3% of the students at the top 146 colleges come from families in the bottom fourth of household income. Fewer than 6 in 10 undergraduates are finishing four-year degrees within six years. Student-loan debt has topped $900 billion. And states are disinvesting in public colleges and universities at a time when employers need workers with a college education more than ever.” 10-12
