University of Akron President Scott Scarborough says colleges that aren't great won't be around in 50 years. He's making waves in academia as he pushes to distinguish Akron as Ohio's Career-focused polytechnic university and moves to lower costs for students with cheap general education courses even as state funding dips. He joins Mike McIntyre to talk about Akron and the future of higher education.
