I can’t tell what is fact, and what is fiction or opinion. Like most media these days it’s void of citations. Furthermore, underlining data can be interpreted very differently depending on how it is read.
Perhaps the following is true “For the overwhelming majority of graduates, the returns on going to college more than offset the cost of tuition.” But that statement does not appear to factor in those who do not graduate. What is the return on investment if the entire dataset, including those who do not graduate, is examined? And, does the comparison take into account lost years of earnings and savings? I doubt there is factor for quality of life. For instance, some will graduate and work long hours making good money but hate what they do.
And it might be nick picky, but she says enrollment is going up, but everything I have read says we have hit peak enrollment. The primary reason being that the population in the typical college age range is going down.
