It's acknowledging not only will you be able to get a job out of school, but you will be able to get a job and pay back your loans and actually have a decent quality of life as a result of that.

I think private universities are taking away from public schools that you need to be innovative.

You need to be trying new things and creative.

And there are a ton of large public universities that are really cash-strapped that are doing some incredible things in terms of student retention and getting graduation rates up in four-year graduation rates, let alone six-year graduation rates.

helping with financial literacy for students, things like that.

And public universities have really led the way on a lot of that.

Private universities haven't had to make some of those moves until more recently.

So they are looking to some of the large publics like Florida, like Arizona State, places like that to make these changes.

Thank you.
