Debate: Is College Education Broken in America?

from Metamodernism Uncensored · host Sean Dempsey

For generations, Americans were told that college was the surest path to success. This debate asks a heretical question: what if that promise has become one of the most expensive lies ever sold? Sean Dempsey and Nancy clash over soaring student debt, administrative bloat, and the real cost of higher education, from Yale’s staffing ratios to UC Berkeley’s stadium spending. The debate digs into whether college is a public good, a broken market, or an overpriced credential factory that leaves graduates underemployed and buried in loans.
