The increasing cost of a college education concerns people regardless of their income level or politics. It’s the subject of congressional hearings, protests and everyday conversation. But why does higher education cost so much? Are our universities simply dysfunctional and inefficient? Or is it more complicated than that? Wednesday, we’ll explore those questions in front of a live audience at the Hinckley Institute of Politics. The scholars Robert Archibald and Nicholas Hillman are our guests. And we hope you’ll join us, too.
RadioWest and The Hinckley Institute of Politics invite you to join our live audience tomorrow, March 6, at 11 a.m. in the Hinckley Caucus Room, in Orson Spencer Hall on the University of Utah campus. The event it free and open to the public. For more details, click here.
