Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5033931, member: 4613"] Jon Wilner discusses the enrollment cliff and how universities need to find a way to attract students. I'm not arguing for or against the idea of PE, just why it might make sense. "The infusion of cash from private equity would offer a chance to remain competitive on the field and, as a result, in the admissions game." "Every metric used in the admissions game will become more important: Membership in the Association of American Universities, placement in the [I]U.S. News and World Report[/I] rankings and, of course, the acceptance rates that drive reputation and prestige." "Should the presidents sell a stake in the conference? That probably depends on the terms. Should they give the matter serious consideration? Because of a daunting macro environment two decades in the making, they don’t have a choice."
