This is one of those weird Alex Usher posts where he tries to make us believe something didn't happen when his own statistics show clearly that it did. He focuses on three predictions about access in the developing world: that private university enrollments would increase, that public institutions would become less dependent on public funding (ie., that tuition would rise), and that student loans would increase. Now he doesn't cite any actual sources making these claims (a sure sign he is making something up). But in any cases, all three things happened by his own admission, it's just the scale wasn't as pronounced as his unknown pundits claimed. Usher delivers first-class economic analysis. I don't kn ow why he feels the need to put what appears to be a politically-motivated thumb on the scale.
