Why does higher education matter? Hardly a day passes without reference to some scandal, fraud or failure associated with American academic institutions, and there are few more important stories to be told in America right now than this one. Anthony is joined by Tuft’s Professor Emeritus Sol Gittleman to discuss his new book, The Accidental Triumph: The Improbable History of American Higher Education. Sol reflects on his many years of leadership at Tufts University discussing whether American higher education is a disaster as it is sometimes painted, or really the great envy of the world.
