From TheConversation.com, a critical analysis of the tenuous future of higher education.

The future of higher education is in crisis. Between falling undergraduate enrollment, rising student debt, program elimination, and widespread faculty burnout, families across America are left wondering: Is college worth it? In The Conversation on Higher Ed, editor Mary Churchill explores the complicated landscape of academic life in the current era, examining issues ranging from free speech on campus and the implications of artificial intelligence in teaching and learning to the erosion of academic tenure and the profound impact of diversity in academia. Despite major sociopolitical shifts affecting campuses across the nation, higher education remains a key component of an engaged and well-functioning society. These essays from The Conversation explain the forces reshaping the future of higher education in the United States and outline constructive solutions to ensure that higher education contributes to a better future for everyone, not just the privileged few.

The Critical Conversations series collects essays from top scholars on timely topics, including water, biotechnology, gender diversity, and more, originally published on the independent news site The Conversation.

More than a book of essays, this collection edited by Mary Churchill serves as a north star for us all as we try to navigate the choppy waters in higher education. Debt, affordability, student success, and lifelong learning are all examined with an analysis that reminds us of the public purposes of higher education. This book is honest and also hopeful about what it means to learn together and, through that, to design institutions that will nurture future generations of learners.
—Adam Bush, College Unbound

Provides readable expert insight on a consequential issue, especially for families in which someone is considering or pursuing postsecondary education. This type of work is very much needed to bridge the gap between insular higher education policy debates and concerns of the general public, especially given declining trust in the value of higher education. The Conversation on Higher Ed is an important effort in that direction.
—Lindsey P. Myers, American Council on Education
