A finer point with Brandon Busteed: Gallup-Purdue Index challenges higher ed return on investment debate

“A finer point with Brandon Busteed: Gallup-Purdue Index challenges higher ed return on investment debate” is a brief podcast interview with Brandon Busteed, Executive Director of Gallup Education. Busteed discusses the impact of the Gallup-Purdue Index and how it can both help and challenge institutions of higher education reframing the return on investment (ROI) debate. The Gallup-Purdue Index surveys more than 30,000 college graduates to help better understand what matters in college that impacts life beyond college. The Index looks specifically at two variables: degree to which college graduates are engaged in their work and thriving in their well-being. These two variables are well-documented as being predictive of such things as healthcare costs and work productivity. Interview facilitation, commentary and discussion presented by Kathryn Dodge, Alison Griffin, and Elise Scanlon of Radio Higher Ed
