A recent op-ed of mine appeared in one of the big Michigan papers, the Detroit News, not too long ago. It&#8217;s about why mayoral control—a bad idea in the first place, I believe—is an even worse idea in a city like Detroit.

I&#8217;ve got a new piece published at TomDispatch.com today about the crisis of college affordability sweeping throughout higher education, from community colleges to elite, four-year public and private colleges and universities. 
It&#8217;s a crisis that&#8217;s been long coming. The Pell Grant, created in 1972, was the last real effort to democratize access to higher education, and [...]]]></description>

With that in mind, it&#8217;s encouraging to see that Education Secretary Arne Duncan (for [...]]]></description>
