My article on how Iceland's universities are weathering that country's financial meltdown is in the week's Chronicle of Higher Education.
Iceland sees its higher education system -- which is essentially free for its citizens -- as an essential part of its response to the crisis. "We want the higher-education sector to be able to provide alternatives to people who have lost their jobs and to use it to increase their skills while they are looking for a job," one top official says. (The piece is available online, but non-subscribers may be prompted to purchase a $10 web pass.)
