Public K-12 is often considered a public good. Why not higher education? Thx to Yolanda Watson Spiva and CCA for continuing the discussion. How do we frame our conversations around this ‘public good?’ Living and working a state focused on economic and workforce development, I see a pretty clear linkage between the value of post sec as a public good and the continued identification and development of more opps for all South Carolinians. Instead of why … ask why not?
"To restore public trust in higher education — which can increase participation in our democracy and improve civic culture — we must reframe higher education as a public good." - CCA President Yolanda Watson Spiva, Ph.D., BCC. Dr. Watson Spiva has been in Indianapolis today, presenting and meeting with higher education and policy leaders from across the country as part of the Civic Learning and Democracy Engagement Coalition, of which CCA is a lead partner. #CCADoesTheWork
