The Investment Imperative

Investment
The rising cost and decreasing financial support of postsecondary programs have had the chilling effect of limiting access and, as a result, decreasing enrollment and completion rates. We must tackle the cost of college through collective resource sharing and efficiencies to reduce student loan debt and maximize investments.
Challenges
How can we:
- Create a new business model through shared assets, infrastructure, and services.
- Design flexible pathways to reduce the amount of time it takes to complete a credential.
- Advocate for state reinvestment in public higher education systems.
- Cement systems as central to the federal education and workforce agenda.
