The Other 85 Percent

About

Welcome to The Other 85 Percent. So what does “the other 85 percent” refer to? Research has shown that only about 15 percent of higher education students still fit the traditional definition of young adults age 18 to 22 who live on campus and go to school full time. Many today are working adults, often with families, who want to advance in their careers. As the face of the typical student has changed, so must the institution of higher education itself. In this blog I will address issues such as educational accessibility, outcomes and accountability as they relate to the working adult. I encourage your comments and dialogue on these critical issues related to the future of higher education.
