Achieving a State of Excellence in Higher Ed

At a time when higher education is under siege from the federal government, the role of states has never been more important. In the latest Washington Monthly college rankings, public universities from a handful of states with strong higher education governance systems dominate the top.

What are they doing right? And what lessons do they offer about how to provide quality, affordable degrees to students of modest means when help from Washington, DC is not coming?

Join New America and the Washington Monthly virtually on Tuesday, October 28, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET for a conversation about the challenges and opportunities highlighted in Washington Monthly’s 2025 College Guide and Rankings.

Paul Glastris, Editor in Chief, Washington Monthly
