Yes, Republicans want to control higher ed ideologically and are far worse when it comes to higher ed, but Dems have no love for academic autonomy and want to direct universities to serve constituents (students!)

After a contentious NACIQI meeting, ED is likely to strip federal recognition of accreditors for law and psychology programs. It's a way to influence how institutional accreditors act without pulling financial aid from most students.

But, the panel also didn't make a decision about the status of the law school accreditor, deadlocking once again on the issue.

Want an example of postliberal governance? The Auburn University board sized control of the curriculum and all academic programs in June, when faculty were off-contract. Now that the academic year has started, some faculty are protesting, but many fear reprisal if they speak out.

Auburn Faculty Protest Board’s Curricular Overhaul
Three months after the Board of Trustees abolished the faculty senate and gave itself curricular control, faculty are back on campus and making their disapproval known.

I talked with the Wall Street Journal for a piece on Syracuse's recent struggles. They're not selective enough or in a favorable location to enjoy the market power they used to have, and international student cuts hit them hard. Thus, recent budget deficits. Gift link. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...
Moderately selective private colleges are caught in the middle. They aren’t elite enough to dictate the market, and they attract a student-body that is still concerned about the price tag, said Robert Kelchen, a professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, who specializes in education finances. 

“The stream of students willing to pay something closer to full price is drying up,” Kelchen said. “Even if they’re not terribly concerned about how much it costs, they know that they can shop around and get a better deal.”

The framing of this decision caught my eye. It is intended to “curb the mental health crisis unfolding among college-aged individuals.” I don’t doubt college students struggle with their mental health. But what evidence is there, exactly, of a “crisis”?
