Summary

Why is it no longer worth it to go to college? In this book, you will learn why.

Conducting original research into the rising costs and falling quality of higher education in the US, Professor Braus discovered that there are almost zero new colleges started in the United States, and this lack of new colleges coincided exactly with rising tuition and falling educational quality.

To understand more, Professor Braus dug into the data and started to interview the struggling founders of new non-profit colleges and their lawyers, accreditors, and professors. He discovered the fascinating, untold history of innovation in higher education in the United States. He met and learned the stories of new college founders and their teams who tried to start non-profit colleges but who were shut out or shut down by the corrupt system of private accreditation. He learned that in America today, the system is rigged against even a qualified person trying to start a non-profit college.

Professor Braus now believes the solution to freeing the American mind from the twin crises of rising costs and falling quality in higher education lies in enabling people to start new and innovative non-profit colleges.
