Starting to Worry - Inside Higher Ed

Good article talking about how the Higher Ed Model that has worked for so long is changing.

At my daughter's college she is attending (a state University), they had a record Freshman class this year, because more people accepted than the university thought would based on historic models.  Universities will accept more students based on the fact that only a certain percentage of accepted students will actually attend.  My guess is the reason for the huge increase in acceptance by students is due to cost.  Compared even to a UC, much less a private university, state colleges are a great deal in California.
