Million readers of this site may, by now, realize how the many short writings, and analyses posted in this BLOG have helped them in different ways.  Again, our analyses are based on publicly available data, where statistical inferences are based upon.  Results, strategies and policy implications then shared to the American public as a free good with one purpose—making the US to be more competitive in the global competition through excellent education quality at an affordable price.  Unfortunately, there is a real challenge to maintain the quality.  Click here for answer.

We are independent and self-funded.  Therefore, instead of representing certain interest groups, we based our analyses on common sense, in-line with theories that have been discussed in many college level textbooks in different areas, from Managerial Accounting to Classical Theory of Measurements, and from Mathematical concepts to Physics.

So, what is the 2019 and beyond higher ed industry will look like?  Revealed information has shown that the regulator does not have strategies to manage the US student loans. In fact, it does have, which is a do-nothing policy or strategy.  Therefore, student debts will continue to grow in accelerated rate.  When the American public realizes, or more knowledgeable and educated about the probability of failure of taking loans, then the risk will be weighted-in more heavily in the equation.  So, making the right pricing strategies is becoming vital than ever.  Consequently, the future will be less sunny for tuition-dependent institutions and for those who are not taking serious steps to control their operational cost, i.e, less efficient institutions.  More closures in 2019?  May be!
