National Center for Higher Education Warns of Coming Declines in American Global Competitiveness

Following is an email alert I received from the National Center for Higher Education (link to full study via title):

Today the National Center released its latest Policy Alert, "As America Becomes More Diverse: The Impact of State Higher Education Inequality," http://www.highereducation.org/reports/pa_decline.

This Policy Alert concludes that if current trends continue, the proportion of the U.S. workers with high school diplomas and college degrees will decrease and the personal income of Americans will decline over the next 15 years. States must increase their efforts to address the decline in the educational success for all students, but particularly for the growing populations of young Latinos/Hispanics and African-Americans, or the nation will suffer a decline in its ability to compete in the global market place and the income of all citizens will be affected.

Ten state specific supplements are also available at http://www.highereducation.org/reports/pa_decline/decline-inserts.shtml.
