Richard Kelsey, the original educational consumer, has effectively nailed his critique to higher education's cathedral door. Kelsey launches a no holds barred, no quarter asked or given offensive on the educational establishment's ruling elite. It is a view from the trenches that gives great advice and real, hard-learned warnings to parents and prospective students alike. -- Rob Bartenstein, Financial analyst/contributor to CNBC
