The American Council of Trustees and Alumni is fifteen today. I've had the honor of being attached to the organization--first as the founder of its blog, then as a research fellow--since 2005. During that time, I've seen the organization grow by leaps and bounds in size and influence. ACTA's work on accountability, governance, academic freedom, curricular reform, and more is temperate, non-partisan, consistent, and resolutely commonsensical. As such, it's helping to shape debates about where higher ed should be going--and about how to ensure educational quality, scholarly integrity, and fiscal responsibility across the board.
