"America’s higher education has always depended to some degree on the patronage of its elected leaders, an arrangement that has often been a civic boon," @ethomasfinan argues. "Today, universities have to prove that they can uphold their end of the deal": theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

"Colleges cannot assume that the public consensus that has sustained them will simply remain in place, nor should they assume that reaching financial settlements will mend the structural weaknesses that have made them so vulnerable in the first place" @ethomasfinan gets it.

“Universities should see the White House’s campaign as a wake-up call rather than the root of their troubles—a warning that they have to rebuild trust among not just prospective students, parents, and donors, but also voters and elected officials across party lines,” @ethomasfinan writes in @TheAtlantic.
Today in @TheAtlantic, I argue that higher education needs a new democratic compact.
Since its inception, American higher education has depended on a broader public faith. To regain credibility, the academy needs some major reforms.
