Nathan Grawe, an economics professor at Carleton College and author of “Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education,” speaks about the demand index and how universities, both regional and national, can adapt to shifts in demographics.
“The demographic shifts that are coming are big enough that the industry as a whole is going to see fewer students with almost certainty,” Grawe says.
