College tuition has risen at more than double the rate of inflation over the last 20 years, and student debt is disproportionately burdened by low-income students, first-generation college students, students with disabilities, and students of color. What new approaches can be effective in increasing access to higher education, specifically design education--at the grassroots, institutional, national, and global scales?

This panel addresses the ethical issues facing higher education in relation to issues of access and student debt. It explores how the structures of higher education may contribute to and reproduce systemic inequalities, addresses some of the ways educators are resisting the status quo in creative ways, and proposes some new paths forward to ensure more equitable access and support for students.

Since 1919, The New School has been home to scholars, creators, and activists who challenge convention and boldly make their mark on the world. To celebrate this groundbreaking legacy, we are opening our doors to the public for a weeklong festival of innovative performances, talks, workshops, screenings, exhibitions, and more.

On October 1–6, 2019, we reflected on a century of world-changing ideas and together imagine a new kind of future.
