Show Notes:

We've invited Barbara Brittingham, the President of the New England Commission on Higher Education, to discuss what the downturn in higher ed enrollment is doing from an accreditation standpoint.

Featured Quotes:

. . . one of the things that the commission has seen (and Vermont is an excellent example of this unfortunately), is that when a small college closes, it is obviously very hard on the students and the faculty and the staff who work there, it's difficult for the alums, but it’s also very difficult for the local community because they have their campus that was a major employer in town, often it was a cultural center and has athletic facilities available to the community often and provided a lot of activity for the small businesses in town and the practitioners in town.
Barbara Brittingham, New England Commission on Higher Education

My predecessor used to say that ‘most [governing] boards want good news and a good meal.’ And I think a good meal is still possible, but I don’t know if the news is going to be good.
