[quote=Anonymous]Higher Ed’s problem isn’t declining enrollment. Those same schools predicting to not survive in ten years were around with far fewer students 30/40/50 etc years ago. The problem in higher ed is a business model that requires 5-6% or more operating expense growth year after year without a fund source that can grow at the same rate. Schools have been raising tuition, increasing enrollment, and depending on endowment investments in private equity. They are hitting a ceiling on how much people can or will pay, they are crammed to the brim so enrollment increases are challenging and PE is overvalued, likely to crash. [/quote]
