Nancy Folbre,  of U Mass, author of Saving State U. discusses the crisis in higher education resulting from budget cuts with Steve London of Brooklyn College, forcing colleges to be run more like commercial corporations, placing less value on the quality of education and graduation rates, and more on income and recruitment, with ever-increasing tuition burdening students and their families with debt, reducing faculty, and diminishing upward mobility for the next generation. Event at DEMOS, moderated by  Nancy Cauthen, Director of their Economic Opportunity Program. Camera: Joe Friendly
