Podcast Summary

Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Michael Petrilli, president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, about his new article discussing the downturn in college enrollment rates – and why that trend might be a good thing.

Podcast Highlights

  • Over the course of the global pandemic in the past two years, nearly one million students that might have enrolled in higher graduation under normal circumstances have failed to matriculate to post-secondary educational institutions.
  • With nearly one million college students dropping out every year before the pandemic, many of those students who aren't attending college due to the pandemic may have ultimately dropped out anyway.
  • Far too many students are enrolling in college without the academic and non-cognitive skills they need to earn a degree. Higher education institutions and community colleges are partly responsible for high college dropout rates and must implement admissions standards that align with successful student outcomes.
