Week of 8/26 - Accessibility of Higher Education in the U.S.

Hi everyone! This week we'll be discussing the accessibility of higher education in the United States.  In some ways, higher education in the U.S. has become more accessible, in that there are more opportunities for financial aid; but in other ways, higher education is less accessible that ever before, because the cost of a higher education is higher than ever before and continues to rise.  Money is just one factor that we'll be discussing this week that plays into the accessibility of higher education.  One the main questions is: How accessible is higher education, and what factors play into its accessibility?  How do people think the accessibility of higher education affects the environment in colleges and universities, the workplace, and our society in general.  It'll be interesting to see everyone's experiences of and viewpoints on this topic.  Tomorrow we'll be hearing from Laura and I'll be back on Friday to wrap up this week's topic.
