Let Colleges Fail? with Richard Vedder

Join us for Objectively Speaking with Richard Vedder on Wednesday, February 11 @ 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET.

‍Why has higher education become so expensive, inefficient, and resistant to reform, and what would happen if failing institutions were finally allowed to fail?

‍Let Colleges Fail: The Power of Creative Destruction in Higher Education, by Professor Richard Vedder, makes the case that higher education must embrace market discipline—learning from the private sector, ending federal control of student loans, questioning accreditation, and allowing creative destruction to drive innovation, affordability, and genuine educational value. Vedder is a Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Economics at Ohio University. His work has appeared in scholarly journals and in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and National Review. He is the author of several books, including Restoring the Promise: Higher Education in America, and Going Broke By Degree: Why College Costs Too Much.
