A View From The TOP: College Education

An extensive survey of college and university presidents, conducted by The Chronicle of Higher Education in January 2015, EXECUTIVE SUMMARY found that two-thirds of them feel that American higher education is going in the wrong direction, with public college leaders worried about the decline of state financial support and leaders of private institutions most concerned with the intense competition for students. The survey, completed by nearly 400 presidents at four-year colleges, focused on their attitudes about financial sustainability, college rankings, and student outcomes.
