In this episode, our guest is Noodle CEO and founder John Katzman. We focus on the upcoming September 27-29, 2023 P3-EDU event in Denver, Colorado, delving into the intersection of technology and education, and discussing the role of data in shaping academic outcomes. We talk about the potential misuse of data in education and the need for data in ushering good careers rather than just credentials. We also explore the future of tech in education and the importance of public-private partnerships.

It is well known that public perception of post-secondary education is at an all-time low, as politics, rising tuition, and higher student debt is saddling students and graduates with more stress. And, despite reports showing that people with student debt can negatively affect society, the Supreme Court recently ruled that the $1.7 trillion in student debt cannot be forgiven despite what the HEA clearly states in the statutes.   Research shows that students who must incur debt to attend college have lower GPAs, more health issues both before and after graduation, are less likely to buy a house, will get married and have children later in life, are less likely to start a business, and are less entrepreneurial. The problems are real and are affecting society as we know it.   In his latest podcast episode, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with economist and investment manager David Linton about his findings from his upcoming book, Crushed: How Student Debt Has Impaired a Generation and What to Do About It. David shares how much the cost of education has risen from 1969 to 2020, why most college and university managers plan to budget, why this doesn't help address the problem, and what higher ed can do to improve this.   Podcast Highlights   §  The cost of higher ed in terms of percentage of household income has risen dramatically in the past 50 years. In 1969, the cost of public college education was $1,545 per year, 19% of the median household income. In 2020, it was just under $29,000, or 42% of the median household income. That's about two and a half times more expensive as a function of household income. On an inflation-adjusted metric from 1969 to 2020, it's between 3 ½ - 4 times as expensive. In other words, the cost of four years in 1969 was the same as that of one year in 2020.   §  A driving force behind this rise in tuition is that some administrators and presidents prioritize rankings and performing well vis-à a-vie their competitors. They know what colleges the other students are applying to and want to ensure their students have a similar or better college experience, including more physical and mental health services, nicer campus facilities, larger research departments, more public services for the community, and other ancillary services. There are also more administrators per student than before.   §  Another theory as to why tuition is so high is because state support has dropped from 50-70% of the tuition a student pays to around 12%. However, in 2017, Professor Douglas Webber of Temple University roughly found that for every $1,000 in state budget cuts, students pay an extra $300 – $315 more per year in tuition and fees. This addresses only 30% of the problem.   §  Adding to the rising tuition costs, most administrators discuss expanding departments or hiring new faculty versus cost-cutting and reducing tuition—many plan to construct a new building once a year or every other year. Very few or no administrators say that one of their top five priorities is to adopt the Six Sigma approach, which involves constantly getting incrementally better over a very long period. This can include delivering the same quality education or same quality experience but with 2% fewer resources every single year. Higher ed leaders respond, “No, we have a budgeting process, and each department has to fit within their budget.” John Katzman, who founded Princeton Review, says up to a third of overall university expenses could eventually be cut without damaging the education experience.   §  One solution to rising tuition costs would be that a large consortium of schools, e.g., PAC-12 schools or all Midwest liberal arts schools that happen to compete with one another, should announce they are not going to raise tuition by more than inflation each year for the next ten years. These savings could go back to the school departments to figure out how to do more with less every year.   §  Higher ed presidents need to know the average debt per student upon graduation and the degree to which they've been able to pay it off in five or ten years. If they don't, the first step is to figure out what that is. Boards need to establish the objective. If boards discover that 30%, 40%, or 50% of students ten years out cannot repay their debt, one objective can be for the president to improve that somehow.   §  Campuses must identify if certain types of students cannot pay, specific academic thresholds that make it unlikely for students to graduate, or more likely to take on more debt if they don't cross them. Also, if there are certain areas of study where students are more or less successful when repaying their debts or not having debt. Then, institutions must establish a clear objective. For example, possible goals could include that within five years, graduates' student debt delinquency rate will drop from 20% to 10%, the graduation rate will increase from 70% to 80%, or the debt upon graduation will decrease from $30k to $20k.   §  Cust-cutting must be included in prioritization. Most schools have an annual or semi-annual process whereby they look at objectives, whether it's new facilities for staff or a department, and then rank them in order. But cost-cutting is rarely ranked in the top five. Reducing tuition and cost-cutting doesn't have to be dramatic. It can be to freeze, maintain, or have budgets increase at inflation, minus 1%, every year and then force the department heads to figure out a way to work within that framework.   §  Bring in a consultant or have faculty figure out ways to increase revenue without raising tuition. Identify where the campus is getting other resources if they are selling their services to other areas, utilizing their facilities and research more efficiently, or partnering with other businesses.     Read the transcript →   About Our Podcast Guest   David E. Linton is an author and economist.  A former adjunct professor at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, he taught Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management.  His first book, Foundations of Investment Management, has become a mainstay among aspiring professionals who want to bridge the gap between an academic understanding and the practical application of investment management strategies.    Mr. Linton's second book, Crushed, was researched and written after his tenure as a professor at USC.  While wondering about the beautiful campuses of USC, University of Chicago, UT Austin, and several others, Mr. Linton couldn't help but wonder: why are college campuses so nice?  Why is college so expensive?  How can I possibly afford to send my three kids to college?  Is a college degree even worth it?  And how can I balance what's in the best interest of my kids without mortgaging their (and my) future?   If you want to know the answers to these questions – don't do what Mr. Linton did, which is spend the next two years and ~2,000 hours researching the topic.  Just read the book.  It's a better return on time.   Mr. Linton works at a multinational technology firm managing corporate and customer cash when he's not teaching or researching.  He is a seasoned economist and asset manager, previously working as the Director of Portfolio Construction and Manager Research at Pacific Life and a Vice President and Portfolio Manager at PIMCO.  Mr. Linton is a CFA® charter holder, has a BS in Business Administration from the University of Southern California, graduating magna cum laude, and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, graduating with honors.  He enjoys reading with his oldest child, playing chess with his middle child, and wrestling with his youngest child.  He thinks they enjoy those activities, too.   About the Host   Dr. Drumm McNaughton, the host of Changing Higher Ed®, is a consultant to higher ed institutions in governance, accreditation, strategy and change, and mergers.

 The combined forces of the COVID-19 pandemic, soaring inflation, and a looming recession have aligned to rock virtually every sector of the American economy; our education system has not been spared.  As a result, those working within the education sector—as well as parents and students themselves—are left to grapple with a set of newly urgent questions: can we learn effectively in a remote setting? Can educational technology help students find the employment they seek? Can online learning offer a truly stable and high quality educational model for the future? In today's podcast, Eric is joined by ed tech veteran John Katzman to learn why he's so optimistic about the efficacy of ed tech, how he thinks it should be tailored to different age groups, how it can help job seekers weather a difficult hiring market, and much more.  

Noodle Founder and CEO, John Katzman took the stage at the 2022 ASU+GSV Summit to discuss Steering Ed Tech Towards the Public Good. Thirty years in, has technology made education measurably better and significantly less expensive? What are the concrete steps that we can take as a community to make education more responsive, resilient, inclusive, and cost-effective–while making investors great returns?John touches on a bunch of different nuances of Ed Tech in this short talk that we think you will find informative and intriguing.

Back in Episode 52, Leading Lines producer John Sloop interviewed Chris Parrish, senior vice president and portfolio general manager at 2U. 2U is an online program management, or OPM, provider. They work with universities to develop, launch, and sustain online degree programs. In this episode, John Sloop talks with John Katzman, who helped found 2U back in 2008, then moved on to start a different OPM provider, Noodle Partners, in 2010. Before that, Katzman founded the Princeton Review. In his conversation with John Sloop, Katzman talks about the problems he sees with for-profit education companies, the ways that his firm Noodle Partners approaches OPM work differently, and the future of online education.

Why has a college education become so expensive, throwing millions of students into debt before they’ve even entered the work force? This week’s Episode 5 of Reality Check with Jeanne Allen explores that and related issues with John Katzman, one of he nation’s leading experts in higher education. “Technology in every other industry has lowered costs,” Katzman points out. But “in higher ed, it’s actually raised costs.” Moreover, “The reality is that education has gotten more expensive, but not the teaching part. The actual teaching is about 20 percent of what a school spends on a student.” For more, check out this week’s podcast on education with Jeanne Allen.

John Katzman has been innovating in the educational sector since college. He founded and ran Princeton Review, 2U, and he now leads the Noodle Companies. More interesting than his resume, however, is John's determined, irreverent, and direct style. That comes through in this quick hit on John's views of startup challenges, leadership, and the role of confidence in his success path.
