Many of the sources for this summary are behind paywalls (though this Government Accountability Office (GAO) reporting on student financing is not, nor is the Bryan Alexander video). No matter; this summary is find and the original articles aren't worth the money people pay for them. The sources - mostly representing a conservative or right wing perspective - argue that demand for higher education is shrinking (with some saying that's a good thing). Some quotes: "The next generation of higher education leaders will take scarcity as a given and "return on investment" as both sales pitch and state of mind." And: "A sectorwide approach is needed because the economics of higher education are not going to hold."
