Nick Ducoff, author and CEO at Edmit, joined the podcast to talk about public distrust in higher ed’s value and all the new ways higher ed is working to demonstrate student ROI.

This episode is a recording of a Niche Screenside Chat held on 3/25/21 with Nick Ducoff from Edmit. We discuss pricing and affordability and how students and their families view paying for college. Show notes are available on the Enrollment Insights Blog at niche.bz/podcast. In the Enrollment Insights Podcast, you'll hear about novel solutions to problems, ways to make processes better for students, and the questions that spark internal reflection and end up changing entire processes.

Reported by Higher Ed Dive, 75% of private colleges predict their net tuition revenue will decline in 2021 according to Moody’s Investors Service. And in this world, what happens? According to Edmit, more than 345 private nonprofit colleges could close within the next six years. Perhaps even sooner.

Many colleges were facing financial pressure before the pandemic. But the crisis has exacerbated those challenges and stoked more questions about the sustainability of colleges with shaky finances.   Nick Ducoff is cofounder and CEO of Edmit, a college financial education company. He has weighed in on this issue with projections of when private colleges are likely to run out of money. We spoke with Nick about those analyses and the gaps he sees in what students and their parents can find out about the financial health of colleges.   We also spoke with Barbara Brittingham, who just stepped down as president of the New England Commission of Higher Education, a regional accreditor. Brittingham has been a well-placed observer of the financial woes of struggling colleges, and is an expert on the U.S. regulatory system's role in overseeing higher education finance.
