"At the big picture level," writes Bryan Alexander, "[t]otal postsecondary enrollment, which includes both undergraduate and graduate students, fell a further 4.1 percent or [by] 685,000 students in spring 2022 compared to spring 2021." Was a lesson learned? No. Alexander writes, "Personally, I am struggling mightily to avoid hollering 'I told you so!' Far too many times I've been the only person in a room or event pointing this out, and warning people about the futures it might entail.  Also, for twenty years (!) before that (!) I've been telling academics to get online and helping them do so."
