More Eating the Future

Alex Usher doubles down on his abhorrent 'eating the future' argument, but he also makes a good point that I'll focus on here: "There is a really basic argument about the value of postsecondary education which somehow, postsecondary institutions are losing with governments and, I think by implication, the public. That, and nothing else, needs to be the focus of institutional efforts on external relations." By framing the argument as being between 'postsecondary education' and 'pensions' Usher is not following his own advice, obviously. I don't think attacking old people will get the sector where it wants to go, Usher's biases notwithstanding. At the same time, if it wants to remain robust, postsecondary will have to find a way to appeal to the broader public.
