What can be done about the spiraling cost of higher education in a world where education will be an absolute necessity. Several books that I have read recently (The World is Flat, The Two Income Trap) underscore the absolute necessity of top notch education both now and in the future, including a thriving, complex research base to compete in this global economy.
At the same time, if the cost of college education continues to escalate at this pace (two times the inflation rate), it will become inaccessible to a wide range of students and hardly worth the investment. What is the solution to this? I'm interested in your responses because quite frankly, I'm overwhelmed by the enormity of this problem and have no real solutions.
