It is easy to be discouraged about the state of higher education in the United States. The public is disgruntled about the cost and questions the value of a college education. College students are borrowing too much. College graduates often fail to secure good jobs after graduation. Accreditation is under fire. International competitors and a slowing worldwide economy are changing international student mobility patterns. The increased number of administrators and the decreased number of hours professors spend in the classroom have all contributed to controversy and skepticism about the state of American higher education.
