I was quoted in the New York Times article “Saying No to College.” I was also quoted in the New York Times article “To Breed or Not to Breed?” about people who choose not to have children. I have been referred to on TechCrunch as a “super-connector.”
The Education of Millionaires received the honor of being attacked stridently in Time by Vartan Gregorian, who was the president of Brown University while I was a student there, and by the $500,000/year Macalaster College president Brian Rosenberg on HuffingtonPost. The Chronicle of Higher Education is apoplectic about my work. (Here, here and here.) As is Inside Higher Ed.
