Galloway was recently interviewed by Andy Slavitt on Andy’s “In the Bubble” podcast. Slavitt was Acting Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, from March 2015 to January 2017. As you might expect from his article, Galloway’s focus is on the business side of running a college or university. He even says he thinks that once Fall tuition is paid, more colleges will pivot and backtrack from having an in person experience. Galloway thinks a lot of what he considers “low value high tuition” colleges SHOULD permanently close because they are “selling a Hyundai for the price of a Mercedes.” He considers it an “overdue reckoning” and further that “a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.” I think Galloway’s pre-existing opinion has definitely colored his analysis.
