Fwd: "Is College A Ripoff?" Arvin Vohra @American University, April 11, 8 p.m.

----------


Hi All:
I'll be speaking at American University on Wednesday, April 11, at the Students for Liberty sponsored talk, "Is College a Ripoff?" It's free and open to the public, and it's on one of the most important political and economic topics today. If you're around, this will be an exciting event, and I'd obviously like a couple friendly faces in the audience. Details follow. -Arvin

Description:
Over the last decades college tuition in America has skyrocketed, increasing faster than medical costs, and at about three times the rate of inflation. In fact, students in private colleges pay around $100/hr to attend lectures (e.g., in a lecture class of 200 people, the University receives $20,000/hour). On April 11, Arvin Vohra, author of Lies, Damned Lies, and College Admissions, will offer his controversial analysis on the current state of American higher education, including:

The real reasons that college tuition is so high, and the College Bubble
What most colleges censor from their courses, and why
The unintended consequences of current financial aid laws
How college education has deformed high school educaiton
Public policy initiatives, alternatives, and the future of higher education

The event begins with a presentation, followed by Q&A, and is sponsored by the American University Students for Liberty.
Please forward this to anyone who you think may be interested. 
Also, here's a short documentary about my educational business, made by AU graduate Rachel Lincoln. This was made before the book came out, but should give at least a hint of something or other.
