Given the sorry state of much of higher ed today, it’s always nice to be able to write about some good news. This week, that news came from Purdue University’s president, Mitch Daniels. He recently penned an open letter to the Purdue University community discussing the first year of his presidency and outlining his vision for the future. That vision includes a tuition freeze, streamlining, performance measures, and innovation.

Over at ACTA, we couldn’t be more pleased with Daniels’ goals, and we say as much in our latest press release.

Mitch Daniels has been a bold and effective leader, and we hope he can continue pointing the way toward higher–ed reform.
