It's time for colleges to share financial risk with students, and cosigning student loans is the logical place to start.
On the 9th episode of the Skill Podcast, Micah shares a conversation with Carlo Salerno, education economist and author of the article "Colleges Should Cosign Student Loans", published at Inside Higher Ed in June. Carlo has over 20 years of experience in Higher Ed as a researcher, entrepreneur, and now VP of Research for CampusLogic.
Carlo and Micah discuss his idea in depth, and explore the degree to which colleges have "skin in the game" today, and why that isn't enough to drive the student outcomes we want.
Throughout this conversation, Carlo and Micah cover the following topics:
