The Simplest Way to Bring Down the Cost of College | Mark Salisbury | TEDxDavenport

The cost of higher education has skyrocketed in recent decades, and every year we read about another scandal in college admissions that makes the average person feel like they are powerless to do anything about it. Mark discusses how we can change the system, because today there are now more seats at colleges than there are students to fill them, and that all we need is the right information. Mark holds a Ph.D. in Higher Education, and served in various roles at five universities. He has written for the Chronicle of Higher Education and been featured on NPR. After stints as a musician and an improvisational comic, Mark is now an entrepreneur and the CEO of TuitionFit. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
