Symposium News Coverage

While the cost of higher education is certainly rising, a group of national leaders in higher education told an Oct. 29 gathering at Bates, that cost is neither inflated nor out of proportion with the considerable benefits of a higher education.

Full coverage:

  • Read the news story about the Leadership Symposium on Cost, Value and Financial Aid.
  • View video clips of the featured speakers.
  • View the full symposium.
  • Read “Education experts defend price of college degree,” the Hechinger Report’s coverage of the symposium by Jon Marcus ’82.
