This Week In College Viability (TWICV) for January 5, 2026

Sitting in front of the Blue Yeti microphone and the smooth running Riverside.fm podcast software.

As ‘Your College Financial Quality Control Advocate’ This is the podcast that talks about the financial health and viability of public and private colleges with data, details and perspectives offered nowhere else. I talk about delusional colleges, regurgitation reporting,

And College Viability is Higher Education’s NORAD. Our data radar tells you which incoming colleges are risky and which will safely deliver an education package.

Today:

+ Martin University terminates staff (without pay), encourages students to transfer

+ Rider University (NJ) placed on probation

+ A potential college president foot-in-mouth story

+ Another college tries to spin bad news into a ‘Comeback kid’ kind of story

+ From Dow Jones Market Watch and Morningstar: ‘They're in their 60s and still paying off student loans. College debt in America now lasts a lifetime.’

INTRO: Always add: forward podcast link to your Higher Education friends. No sense in just you getting latest news and commentary on the whole industry
