Colleges Leave Out Talented Students. We Need to Change for America's Sake - Commentary
Carolyn Gentle-Genitty, inaugural dean of Founder’s College at Butler University (IN) and Brooke Barnett, provost and executive vice president of Butler University (IN), write:
As the presidential inauguration approaches, our country remains starkly divided, and one of the biggest fault lines lies between those who have a college degree and those who don’t. To help bridge our national divide, we must introduce different approaches to delivering and marketing college so that it becomes within reach for more Americans. Higher education institutions must lead this change so we can rebuild trust and remain relevant for the population at large.
