Eric Hoover alerts us to
a new white paper, “The End of Higher Education Enrollment as We Know It,” written by "Greg Perfetto, vice president for research and development at Admissions Lab (formerly 422 Group), a higher-education consulting firm."

Mr Perfetto predicts "tomorrow’s students will be more 'employment oriented' than before; and that near-term financial considerations (as opposed to the perceived long-term value of an education) will probably shape colleges choices more than they do today." and “The future college prospect … will have a very different orientation toward technology, information, and, most of all, creditability.”
