A(nother) look at higher education

Jenna Ross:

Higher education in this state has been studied before. Scholars have offered opinions. Commissions have issued reports.

"Report after report," is how Lindsey Alexander put it.

As a project manager for the Citizens League, Alexander is helping produce the next one. Since January, the league, along with the Bush Foundation, has been studying how higher education might be reformed.

Will its findings have more power than reports past?

The timing might be right.

The University of Minnesota, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system and the Minnesota Private College Council all have new leaders. That's led to predictions of more willingness for reform.
