Can Texas Develop $10,000 Bachelor's Degrees?

The eyes of Texas are upon university reform once again, and soon the rest of the country may be singing the song of our second largest state.

Earlier this month, Governor Rick Perry announced his education initiatives for the upcoming legislative session. He called for a four-year tuition freeze, outcomes-based funding for institutions, and increased fiscal transparency for students and their parents. Most important, he threw down the gauntlet by renewing his challenge for public colleges and universities to create more $10,000 bachelor's degree programs.

Of all the governor's proposed reforms, the $10,000 bachelor's degree has by far the most revolutionary implications, for Texas and, if successful, America.
