NYTimes.com: Americans Are Losing Faith in the Value of College. Whose Fault Is That?
From The New York Times:
" But just as individual students pay a cost in lost wages when they opt out (or drop out) of college, there is a larger cost when millions of students do so — especially as other nations keep charging ahead. Holtz-Eakin and Lee calculated the price to the American economy of the millions of missing college grads they are projecting: $1.2 trillion in lost economic output by the end of the decade. That is one cost we are likely to bear together, winners and losers alike."

Summer's end
Dearest Readers,
It was hot and it made us cough. Time to see far-flung relatives, to venture into nature, to plan for great courses, to tend the garden and to harvest. To reflect, to write, to fix up our homes or to abandon them for months. First summmer we did not think about Covid, and then cases propped up left and right. Summer's out, students are back, departments meet 9/8 during common meeting time and governance resumes 9/15 same time.
Yours truly,
Lady Whistledown
