Ralph Wolff: Higher education is evolving

This week, we've been sharing radical ideas from visionaries who are thinking outside the traditional campuses to consider more sustainable -- and possibly, more effective -- models for colleges and universities.

Today, we speak with someone who is both an insider and an agent of change.  Ralph Wolff is president and executive director of the senior college commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.  Wolff is working to fulfill the Obama Administration's goal of having 60 percent of Americans hold college degrees by the year 2025. Currently, it's more like 40 percent.

Ralph Wolff spoke with KALW's Nancy Mullane about how higher education has changed dramatically over the last few decades, and how it's adapting to current realities.
