The College Affordability Crisis
1A - En podkast av NPR
The graduating class of 2025 is the largest the country has ever seen — around 3.9 million students. That's according to the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. And it'll likely be the largest group for a while. That's because starting next school year, the number of high school seniors is expected to drop sharply. That's partly due to low birth rates connected to the 2008 recession. We discuss how colleges and universities are grappling with declining enrollment. Want to support 1A?
