Featuring Judith Eaton, President, Council for Higher Education Accreditation; Andrew Kelly, Director, Center on Higher Education Reform, American Enterprise Institute; Neal McCluskey, Associate Director, Center for Educational Freedom, Cato Institute; moderated by Doug Lederman, Editor, Inside Higher Ed

The second is the emergence of postsecondary models that threaten to replace traditional colleges and universities on a major scale.
