"The traditional higher ed model of change-one institution at a time, with individual colleges recreating the wheel rather than working together-just isn't up to the task."
"A more aggressive governmental role might result in more beneficial coordination among institutions, particularly at the state level, where most statewide bodies don't do enough now."
"Certain systemic problems-like the increasingly dysfunctional way we help Americans pay for education and training and hold institutions accountable for their performance-can't be addressed without federal involvement."
The higher education landscape in the United States lacks a cohesive system, resulting in challenges that outweigh benefits. Institutions operate independently, making systemic progress difficult. A more aggressive government role could enhance coordination among colleges and universities, particularly at the state level. Additionally, a functional federal policy infrastructure is necessary to address systemic issues such as funding education and holding institutions accountable. Without federal involvement, significant problems in the education system will persist.
