Why?A successful football program puts a university on the map. Leaving aside the question of what part of the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi Valley region the states of Maryland and New Jersey might be found in, what is the value of Big Ten membership to Rutgers (the state university of New Jersey) and the University of Maryland. In fact, it is almost incalculable. Parity with the great state research universities. Billions in research grants and research contracts. Increased undergraduate and graduate school applications. Believe me, for all of these benefits, the price of a top tier football coach is nothing.

It should not be a struggle to find employment, and there should be low barriers to start your own technology company.

Steve Barker At least for most public universities, tuition does not subsidize the NCAA. That is because public university tuition is required to be spent only on teaching and academic support. Instead, there are mostly supported by student fees that are separately listed that are actually voted on by students that subsidize the NCAA, endowments, and funding from room and board. It might seem like a minor technical point but the fact is the students (at least at public universities) can stop this most of this in an instant if they just voted in student elections and stopped living in overpriced student housing. Of course, money is fungible, so we also need to provide more transparency and ensure that when we cut these expenses, the NCAA is similarly massively reduced.

@drmadjdsadjadi

Billy Bob Look for what is called a “student athletics fee” (or some similar name) that every student on a campus pays. These are student fees that go to support NCAA mandated sports. At the vast majority of universities, football and basketball simply do not bring in enough money to subsidize the rest of the university. Unless you are elite university that wins a lot of championships, athletics does not support the rest of the university. Instead the rest of the university subsidizes athletics. If a university is lucky, football and basketball *might* be able to support the other NCAA sports (field hockey, baseball, softball, lacrosse, etc.). However, if you school is not a Division I school (and most are not) or if it is a non-elite or non-successful Division I school (a category that encompasses most Division I schools), even football and basketball cannot carry even the rest of the sports, so athletics needs to be subsidized by the students through exorbitant student athletic fees.

For example, every public university in my state (NJ) went on a land-buying and building binge during the 2000's real-estate bubble, trying to attract more students and collect revenue from leasing/renting. Then, they built ugly monstrosities for facilities, which all ran _waaaay_ over-budget, and were expensive nightmares to maintain. After all that idiocy, they had to jack-up tuition and would subsequently fail to meet their enrollment requirements. Meanwhile, academic departments which require expensive equipment (engineering, art, nursing, comp-sci, etc) were always desperately low on supplies, which has only gotten worse in later years. And re-thinking tenure? That's pointless. The vast majority of faculty are severely underpaid adjuncts with NO job-security. Most will never get tenure, anyway. The money administrators/trustees wasted everywhere else, in order to make themselves "more competitive" to lure potential students, would more than fix that problem. A school is supposed to provide a public service to the community, not sell a luxury product to a niche consumer. All said & done, I'm still glad to hear Galloway's views on the issue. All the best, everybody.

"On one hand, the Ivies and big-name schools are overdue for a smackdown" Except those are the ones he said would not be impacted. "The whole problem with the modern American college/university is that they're essentially run like businesses." Actually, it's the opposite. Businesses work to boost productivity and reduce costs to deliver product in a competitive environment. In contrast, colleges and universities have inflated their costs by 1400%. A business would not survive that way.

I agree. I just wrote this, before i saw your comment: It's all true, but misses the point. Education can be made cheaper by cutting bureaucracy. To cut bureaucracy (and marketing) you need a safer environment for universities, not a free-for-all. Essentially the bureaucracies manage the marketing machines, and academics and what they do are just a curiosity.

I suspect a lot of smaller schools (especially the "commuter colleges" I went to, whose students are primarily from working-class and immigrant backgrounds) could easily collapse under their unsustainable debt loads, if their creditors smell blood. But remember, in this modern American economy, there are a bunch of industries that are deemed "too big to fail," and have a _de facto_ protected status. Fossil fuel, finance, insurance, real estate, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as any major Defense Dept contractor (and their "lowest bidder" policy is a joke--- the amount of waste & fraud aren't even something the Pentagon auditors can figure out!) are all bailed out by taxpayers for their incompetence. I'd add higher-ed to that list, especially since most of the dollars they collect are from gov't-backed student loans. if there comes a wave of school bankruptcies, you'll see state/federal actions to stem the tide.

Education is directly or not, the creature of the state. And the fools want more state.

"...just in the last two weeks I've talked to administrators and leadership at six different universities, and they have a ton of ideas, and a lot of platitudes 'we're in this together', and one idea you never hear is that they need to reduce their costs."

As an academic advisor I have a few issues with this guy’s assessment. Tenure is not the primary reason for high tuition. Upper administration is where the big money makers are and they seem to double themselves every ten years. Tenure is in decline yet tuition is still rising. There is a great deal of marketing, sports, business enterprises going on in higher ed that has little connection with the goals of educating students. He said it hasn’t changed and that is just not true. Our country lacks proper health and mental healthcare, universities provide this for students. Academic support and IT resources are much more extensive now.

Yes you are exactly right. The money goes to administrators, marketing, buildings, everything you mentioned. And it's easy for a business professor to say we should eliminate tenure - if he gets fired, he can just find a job in the private sector. Not only are many if not most tenured professors actually very productive, but if you work in the humanities, hard sciences, social sciences, etc., it is not easy to move to another job. There are not enough jobs. Why are there not enough jobs? Because the university's money goes to administrators, sports, fancy buildings, etc.! The money is not going to tenured humanities professors. And of course, then there are the adjuncts who are hired to fill in the gaps because the university won't hire more tenure-line professors - and they get no health insurance and less than minimum wage. it's criminal - but the problem is administration (and business professors making such suggestions from their own comfortable perch) not tenured professors.

Also not mentioned by Galloway is the issue of adjunct staff, who in some US universities (although this is a problem not confined to the US) accounts for as much as 75% of teaching staff and who have no benefits, job security or a decent level of pay. This is an absolutely massive issue and, in my opinion, the hidden shame of HE today. Galloway's framing HE as just like any business is wrong, but I do like his suggestion that the model of how HE gets delivered needs to change. But the question of where all of this money is actually going and why is a very good one. HE is broken but it needs fixing because it is very much needed and has value.

Trades have always been passed down through apprenticeship programs usually from father to son or from mother to daughter. Or, as in Europe, young kids were taken to the Master Tradesmen where that child was given all the education to master that trade and then worked for a short while, with the Master, to pay back some of the years of training. Trades take a number of years to master, but they are a great way to open up the road to the entrepreneur spirit.

It’s a win win. As the years roll by you’ve made connections within your field, you’ve built up a reputation of your capabilities and you’ve earned the respect of those that taught you everything.

I am a Professor at Indiana University. The guest seems to be talking about a world that is totally foreign to my experience. University professors in the College of Arts and Sciences are ludicrously underpaid. Despite a freeze on raises and hiring, the vast majority of my colleagues and me spent countless hours a couple of months ago shifting how we deliver instruction mid-semester. Many of us also found new ways to identify psychological stresses students might be facing because of the COVID-19 pandemic and sought ways to address these stresses with students in remote locations. The content of my courses does NOT resemble that of a couple of decades ago, because I am/we are engaged in active research as a part of our jobs--indeed, every iteration of every course teach requires a reconsideration of the content, methods, materials, and assessment of the course. International students have become "cash cows" of many colleges and universities in the US, precisely because there is a general recognition that the quality of undergraduate and graduate education is vastly superior to that of most other countries. I entirely agree that there are serious issues around rising college and university tuition; nevertheless, statistically speaking, a college education at least doubles a student's earning potential. But let us not forget that a primary reason for the spike in tuition at many public institutions is the fact that many state legislatures have unwisely chosen to de-fund these institutions. There is surely a lot of silliness masquerading as scholarship in many programs in the humanities and (to a lesser extent) the social sciences, as well as much serious scholarship. Nevertheless, students at US colleges and universities are encouraged to develop habits of mind that lead to innovation and they have many opportunities to improve their ability to organize thoughts and to communicate those thoughts in writing and public speaking. I sense that the guest takes most, if not all, of these extremely positive outcomes associated with liberal arts education in the US (and Canada and the UK) for granted.

As a student who returned for the college experience after a successful career in military service, I've often questioned the cost of the final product. In reality, what I pay for is three fold: the topic selection and pacing of the curriculum, an evaluation on how well I've learned, and the final certification or diploma. How does that cost tens of thousands each year? The reality is that it does not. I am all for paying the faculty, I want good instructors to be paid well. But most of our tuition goes into bloated administrative processes and prestige. I could receive the same quality education in a renovated warehouse (or as we recently learned: on digital platforms like Zoom). Instead campuses are installing and renovating buildings to the newest and best facilities, the many paths feature sprawling acreage and impeccably kept landscape. I suspect that much of the inflation in our education costs goes towards a form of keeping up with the Jones. After all, the school has to look good; American consumers only want the most beautiful schools and the best equipped dorms. Parents want the college experience for their children along with the education. Not to mention the sports facilities, stadiums, walking paths by the river... The reality is that the experience could be cut quite easily while the base education, the three things I actually need as a student: the topic selection and pacing of the curriculum, an evaluation on how well I've learned, and the final certification or diploma; that could be affordable. But consumerism and appearances keep it from being possible. What I want as a student is access to good, quality, competent instructors that can aid me in learning material; and I want a diploma when I compete it. Everything else is bloat that I can only afford because of the GI Bill; thankfully I was given a path to earning an affordable degree through that program

Universities should have been spending the past 10-20 years transitioning to online, prerecorded educational syndication. Prerecorded (repeatable, scalable) lecture videos, fluid scheduling, not ableistically requiring eye contact and schedule conformity, a persistent, interactive discussion medium, and follow-up livestreamed Q&A sessions with the VODs uploaded after the fact (same as the lecture videos), is the BAAAARE MIIIINIMUM for the education I should be receiving. If ya'll want to throw in in-person lectures / labs and practical demonstrations for LEGITIMATE reasons on top of that, be my guest, that would be great. But nooope. Professors instead want to force you to buy a microphone and webcam so they can maintain their specific schedule, mandate eye contact, invade your home privacy, and justify keeping their jobs. This is the 21st century, if you're not cut out to produce at least KZread level informative, engaging content, you're not cut out to educate. This IS where the bulk of valuable education is going to go in 10-20 years (my late estimation, and that's being generous), any denial of that is simply cognitive dissonance, don't kid yourself.

At least part of the reason why public universities are so expensive is because states have reduced their support for higher education. Imagine if the cost of your local high schools was covered only by taxes paid by parents who had actually have children. I have no problem with paying taxes to support my local school district, even though I do not and never will have children. This is because I recognize that by paying taxes to support schools, I am contributing to something that benefits our entire community, and indeed an informed citizenry is essential to a functioning democracy. The same logic should apply to higher education - it provides a societal benefit to the entire community, not just those who attend.

The good intentions of government have once again backfired. When I went to my state university the tuition was $800/year, now it is $16,000. That wasn't caused by inflation. Rather, the government decided that they would give loans to students who couldn't afford college. Once colleges found they could raise fees and students could come up with the money, they went wild. That approach won't work anymore, prices will have to become reasonable again. Senator Sanders sincerely cares about people and wants to help. But it should now be obvious that his call for free universal college education was unrealistic pandering. A few months ago college administrators were saying if the government could significantly subsidize and increase enrollment, but there won't be more colleges to fill the demand, that is a prescription for raising prices. Now they are hoping to stay afloat.

My question is should Universities be Businesses or a Social Service.

During the period when the U.S. had the most powerful, innovative, diverse and broad-based economy in the history of the world, the bulk of scientific advances, scholarship and research was done by the publicly run state colleges. If you followed any serious science, you knew that some Midwestern public university was where the action was --- and these public institutions turned the sons and daughters of farmers and lumberjacks into microbiologists, historians and physicists. The "Ivy league" colleges were laughable backwaters of pretension good for little more than providing diplomas for the dim-witted children of the rich. It was during the "Reagan revolution" that started the decline of America that the cult of the "right school" re-emerged.

Elite schools produce experts, but in our culture expertise is not valued - so why go to an expensive school to become a despised “expert”?

Great interview! Need more people talking about this.

A lot of those small, private, non-research, elitist colleges will be gone. Who can pay $60000+ per year for non-Ivy League education? Those schools are a dying breed. Go to a research based, public school and get a better education for 1/2 the cost. However and in large part, those elitist schools provide a very strong network of alumni that try very hard to only hire fellow alumni. Most large state schools don't have such a xenophobic alumni base.

''We want our money back'' - pretty much sums up the world's reaction to Washington.

In US we call Engineer the same person that design and builds the train and the guy that drives the train. After a decade of study and training we call doctors Providers, so do we call nurses...isn't that strange.???? When I go for a doctor's visit I want to be seen by a doctor...not a Nurse Practitioner!!!!! We ask a barber to go through 12 months of training for using scissors and cops 6 months in academy to use guns and enforce laws. At the end the value of the name of the school you go is only to find your first job...after that is you...your experience. Is really 10X better your NYU education than your SUNY education if we value that from what you pay????

A caste system is antithesis to meritocracy. You cannot have both simultaneously.. but more importantly, if you NEED to win by DEFAULT, then YOU ARE NOT EXCELLENT.

We need change and we need it now. According to Google: "On average, tuition tends to increase about 8% per year. An 8% college inflation rate means that the cost of college doubles every nine years. For a baby born today, this means that college costs will be more than three times current rates when the child matriculates in college." While many may hate Bernie Sanders he is correct that our education system needs to change. A young woman remarked below that she was going to college in Europe and is getting her Master's Degree ---"same education, less money and better food." If small countries in Europe can support their colleges and limit tuition and have capitalist economies we as one of the richest countries in the world should be able to do the same. If you really look into what Billionaires pay in taxes it would make you sick. Warren Buffett acknowledged that he payed, percentage wise, less than his secretary. That is flat out wrong. Is it ok that we saddle students with outrageous debt just for an education - HELL NO. My niece is working at her "dream Job" but is saddled with so much student debt that she couldn't be on the mortgage of the home she and my nephew purchased. 8% per year increases is just outright theft and they get away with it because the whole goal is to keep the middle class in debt while they tax your ass on every thing including your burial or cremation fees. No joke!

There is a problem for American students, but a prospect for obtaining citizenship elsewhere when attending college in a foreign country. So Americans still have to pay taxes abroad and have restrictions on them if they have student debt. So they can technically be expatriated if they are aren't paying their debt elsewhere. It is a good idea to stay and attempt their citizenship process elsewhere and renounce the American one because living abroad with unpaid student debt from the US is criminal.

We are not the richest country in the world--we are $25 trillion in debt, with another $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities. We are the brokest people in history--the notion that we should go further into debt to pay for people's "dreams" or to bail out *any* industry or group ignores reality. A collapse is coming that will make the Great Depression pale in comparison, and attending college won't be on anybody's radar when it hits.

What a face full of ice water this is: stunning, yet refreshing. I took a gap year after HS... then two... then a year of college, and I was done, I refused to borrow the money to pay for what I was getting. I never looked back. It worked out okay, but that was a long time ago, and I don't know how well I'd fare if I did it today.

Best discussion I’ve heard in 30-years. All true and without education reform America CANNOT be saved.

One more reason why I am glad I live in Canada. I could go to any grad school of my choice from U of T and McMaster to smaller Universities like St F of X. A degree is a degree is a degree... there is no tier relationship in Canada's University education system because they are all provincially government funded. It is not like it once was 30 years ago. Tuition is unacceptably high, differential tuition for Medical and Legal vs any other degree makes some professions out of reach or huge debt burdens. Recruiting foreign students are incentiveized by how provincial funding is allocated. I am an astronomer and the observatories and equipment are always a tough push for funding where business/engineering and medical get money thrown at them by comparison. Our university system has different challenges and none are going to go under. I'd rather the problems we have than those in the US.

Exactly correct! You can't have states funding state universities less and less every year for the last 15 years and pretend you can provide the same services. There is no way to cut millions of dollars and keep the quality of education. Universities now hire more administrators to run foundations with entire offices dedicated to begging for money, raise tuition as much as students will bear and carnival bark at potential students to entice them into enrolling. To pay for this the universities stop hiring full time professors invested in their job and hire overworked and underpaid part-timers with no benefits or job security. That is not cutting costs; that is making students and professors more miserable.

I’m glad this problem is finally getting some attention, is about time. These institutions need to be held to account.

If a university is honestly increasing their tuition after a Zoom semester then something is up. How much speculative costs are they going to have with nobody there and millions in support from the government. I agree with what this professor is saying, but has he actually seen how his students live? They are spoiled rotten, live on campus with no job, and have their college debt paid for. The lower classes are the ones who have to work and get massive debt to pay off, that's not a concern of the higher classes.

Yep I have seen it. It feels weird to work while in college, like you are apart of a lower class. It also depends on how you do it. Some do it for extra money mom and dad don't give them, while others got jack shit and work to pay for it themselves, therefore removing all sports and extra circulars from there life. That creates a natural class of those who enjoy "fun, extra-circular" things and those who work. Two different groups of people, I don't know if it is right or wrong 🤷‍♂️
