This article<\/a> appeared in this past weekend's Wall Street Journal. It focuses on the value of a degree in today's social and economic climate.<\/p>\n

I've looked at this issue for many years. I've done this through the lens of an individual and a parent. Certainly, there are arguments to be made on both sides. I tend to favor the disruption going on now. It could lead to something very positive. <\/p>\n

There is one thing I'm watching that doesn't get touched on in the article, and that is how much debt many universities are carrying on their balance sheets<\/a>. It speaks to some of the creeping ills facing higher education. Mark Cuban<\/a> wrote a fabulous post on the subject here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keep an eye on all of these trends. You'll be glad you did.<\/p>\n
