"As the United States increasingly regresses toward a Gilded Age of haves and have-nots—in terms of income, education, and opportunity—taking on concentrated poverty is critical. Indeed, Richard Rothstein and Mark Santow assert in their recent paper that, until we do so, education reform efforts are all but doomed.  Continuing to consign so many children and families to communities devoid of pathways out of poverty is tantamount to throwing away our greatest resource for the 21st century: human potential."

"What will have the greatest impact on American higher education in the next ten years? Think of two long-standing exponential trends: the explosive rise in processing power and perhaps the even faster rise in information-sharing – a trend most pronounced in social networks. With strong demand for innovation in the university environment, a rise in collaborative, digitally-integrated educational technologies is likely to make education more affordable, more efficient and more relevant to our future workforce."
