Student Loan Bubble
“Its no longer about reform; It’s
about replacement.”
Dr. Michael Crow – President of Arizona State University
The College System
Has Remained
Unchanged
Change is Needed
• Education over the past 100
years has remained unchanged
– Monopoly
• The wrong focus on breadth of
learning and social experience
• We are becoming less
competitive in the global economy
– Still teaching in a conveyor belt method
– Lack of student individual personalization
“Virtually every
feature of traditional
formal education was
created between 1850
and 1919 to support
the Industrial Age.”
