I also believe colleges and universities provide enormous value to the country regardless of choices that individuals make. "It is not about just the individual benefit. It is about the benefits of the entire society from us providing this opportunity for people." #HigherEdBuildsAmerica
Our colleges and universities serve the entire country -- every state, region, and community. What animates their work, even amid policy chaos, is not fear but pride. They will carry on regardless of any abrupt Friday-evening pronouncement from Washington. Remember this: #HigherEdBuildsAmerica
