Of course we will have massive contraction, but mostly in the middle. Top-tier universities will continue to do fine, as will many small liberal arts colleges. It is everything in the middle that will be massively squeezed. A few will adapt brilliantly (my money is in San Jose State making the transition). Others will resist and fight the change until they go belly up. Most of the rest will probably get slowly assimilated into whatever the new norm is, albeit with a very different financial and personnel structure than they have now… -- Ernie P. -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
