Jeffrey R. Young interviews John Warner, author , EdSurge

Think of your local college or university. They are an employer. They are a cultural hub. They are a technology hub. They fulfill all of these roles simultaneously, just in their day-to-day operations. They’re then also educating the populace of your state, community and locality. And in that way, they are creating these assets that the state, the locality, the community is going to be able to use on a continuous and ongoing basis. To me that’s infrastructure—the same way that we look at our libraries and our K-12 schools as infrastructure or roads. The problem is we haven’t been treating them that way. We’ve been treating them as the sort of private good.
