On Running a Small College in 2017
In this episode of our flagship podcast, Greg Wilbur and Gene King from New College Franklin in Franklin, TN, join David to the challenges and benefits of operating a small college in the volatile world of modern higher education.
Topics include: The story of NCF, the challenges of higher ed in 2017 (7:40), staying small (11:00), dropping the ACT and SAT in favor of the CLT (17:00), and what they hope to see change in higher ed and NCF's role in that change (31:30).

Since a growing number of colleges have tied scholarship dollars to the CLT 10, the test will only be available on April 5th.
