Future U. is back for its seventh season! In our welcome-back episode, Jeff Selingo and I dove into the deep end by talking through several higher-ed headlines from the past couple months. Jeff kicked us off by talking about the new normal hitting higher-ed campuses, as federal funding from COVID relief dries up; colleges strive to get every last TV dollar they can for their athletic programs, which led to the collapse of the Pac-12; West Virginia University is under fire for announcing major cuts after a decade of spending for enrollments that didn’t materialize; and Raj Chetty’s research continues to show that wealthy students are more likely to get admitted to selective colleges than lower-income students with the same standardized test scores. Even more interesting to Jeff, though, is looking at the colleges that are able to attract the very wealthy versus those that aren’t.
Hi Michael. I've always been very interested in increasing self-knowledge at earlier ages, (e.g. pre-school to 12). I'd be very interested in hearing / talking more about your new book and your thinking in this area. At what age-group is it aimed? Can I read it pre-pub?
