Hartle?s job entails working with all sectors of higher education — from community colleges and for-profit schools, to public universities and private not-for-profits — to try and fashion a unified voice in dealing with the federal government in Washington, D.C.Hartle spoke to the regents about the future of higher education and also briefed them on the upcoming release of an American Council on Education survey of young alumni.
Before catching a plane back to Washington, he sat down with Campus Connection to offer a national perspective on the state of higher education in Wisconsin and across the United States.
