Corinthian is closing its remaining 28 campuses today.

This is reminiscent of Chrysler's bankruptcy back in the day.  Too big to fail may pertain on Wall Street, but not elsewhere.  The only thing that could be more earth-shaking in our industry --- higher ed ---  would be the failure of the University of Phoenix.

Equally surprising was the announcement of a small women's college in Virginia a few weeks ago that it would close its doors in June.  Are these tremors the first signs of the shakeout in higher education that many --- notably Professor Clay Christianson of the Harvard Business School --- have been predicting?

What are other significant trends in higher education?  Check out my May and June webinars here:
