North Dakota Policy Council to Release Higher Education Study


Bismarck – The North Dakota Policy Council will be releasing "Higher Education and North Dakota's Economic Future," a study that examines the relationship between higher education spending and economic growth, on Wednesday, October 28th, at 1:00pm. The study was conducted by Dr. Richard Vedder of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity. Vedder is also author of Going Broke by Degree: Why College Costs Too Much.


"I think this study will send shock waves through the higher education and government communities," NDPC Executive Director Brett Narloch said. "It challenges the notion put forward by nearly everyone in the higher education system that increased higher education spending leads to economic growth. It really challenges the idea that North Dakota's universities and colleges are the economic engines system supporters say they are. And, it's all backed up by government data."


The NDPC will be using a new and innovative method to release the study by hosting a web conference. Narloch will present the study, then members of the media will be allowed to ask questions. The entire web conference will take place online. The concept allows for media members from all across the state to participate. It's simply a way to get more people involved. The public is also encouraged to watch the press conference.


The platform to view the web conference will be available at 12:45pm on Wednesday and can be accessed from the NDPC's main website www.policynd.org or by clicking HERE.


The study will be made available to the public immediately after the web conference.
