Let Colleges Fail: The Power of Creative Destruction in Higher Education
June 11, 12:00 pm–1:30 pm
Join us for a luncheon and discussion of Richard K. Vedder’s provocative new book: Let Colleges Fail: The Power of Creative Destruction in Higher Education. In Let Colleges Fail, Vedder argues persuasively that the federal government needs to greatly reduce its role in higher education and allow American universities to be guided by the private sector. He offers practical solutions to the crises facing colleges and universities and provides a blueprint for restoring affordable, high-quality education.
Richard K. Vedder is a Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and long-time Martin Center contributor. He is Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Economics at Ohio University, and he is the Founding Director of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity in Washington, D.C. A prominent voice in current movements for reform of higher education, Vedder served on the Secretary of Education’s Commission on the Future of Higher Education and is the author of Going Broke By Degree: Why College Costs Too Much.
