Jon Boeckenstedt is the Vice Provost of Enrollment Management at Oregon State University. He has thoughts about how we do--and should do--admissions. Here he is in conversation with philosopher of education Harry Brighouse. 

• What is "enrollment management"?
• Is the admissions office more like Space Mountain or Studio 54?
• What information does an admissions officer actually get from an ACT/SAT score?
• What difference might going test-optional make?
• What will enrollment patterns look like in five years?
• What's so annoying about the US News rankings?
• What should more faculty knew about students?

and more.
