As part of our daily ritual Anne, Hieronymus, and myself listen to C-SPAN in the morning. Before 7am, if you are listening to C-SPAN 1, the speech, conference, hearing that is played will usually be the topic of focus during the first segment of Washington Journal which follows promptly at 7am.

Once the minute advances from 6:59am, Trumpet Concerto No. 2 blasts through the air and you know the phone calls from a vast array of Americans (a few global listeners have been known to call from time to time) will soon fill our home, providing us with an opportunity to experience the human condition.

On this past Friday’s program, the host mentioned that former Governor of Indiana and current President of Purdue University, Mitch Daniels would be on the program discussing college affordability. I decided to call in and ask some questions that have come to mind since the promotion of Income Share Agreements has entered into the conversation.

• What kind of student data regulation adjustments need to be made in order for Purdue to provide ISAs?
• When can we expect to see a sample contract for Purdue’s ISA program?
• In the past, you mentioned the Pajama Test, and I was curious on the quality of education one can achieve in a digital vs. in-person setting?

Daniels took a few minutes to answer my questions.  Here’s the clip of my phone call and his responses:
