This is fantastic. I would definitely read/buy the longer, more researched version. What I particularly appreciate is the emphasis on the higher education being more than one thing, which means that its problems or more than one thing. My biggest qualm on these matters is that progressives want to blame everything on the consumerism angle and on the failure of government funding to continue infinitely expanding. And conservatives want to blame everything on wokeness.

Out problems are multi-located. Our solutions must be the same.

Yes, please write a longer version. For many years I taught at a small private Catholic college--its strategy for survival was to build new sports fields, new dorms, a better cafeteria, and offer more sports teams. It kept offering new majors without the faculty to teach them.
