'If a university is committed to free speech, that needs to be a principle that holds true all the time.' — Andy Smarick #GettingHigherEdRight

'The most significant thing trustees do is that they hire and hold accountable the president.' — Wayne D. Lewis, Jr. #GettingHigherEdRight

'Right now, we're incentivizing students to borrow more.' — Frederick M. Hess #GettingHigherEdRight

'The best way is to put incentives in place to let universities get good outcomes, and then get out of the way.' — Beth Akers #GettingHigherEdRight
