Fixing the Future of Higher Education with the Minerva Project ft. Ben Nelson Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

What comes to mind when you hear the word “college”... all-nighters of cramming? keg stands and football stadiums? crippling student loan debt?

Ben Nelson, the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Minerva Project, is demanding dramatic change in our society’s outdated and flawed higher education system. Through Minerva Schools, Ben strives to provide an Ivy League education at a fraction of the price using state-of-the-art, traveling classrooms and reformed curriculum. We discuss five critical choices universities need to make, the ghastly infrastructural costs for one student to attend, how college can assist (instead of squash) upward mobility, protecting student mental health, how education drives political behavior and more.
