Image: Ever since the chat bot ChatGPT burst into public view in late 2022, students, professors and administrators have been woozy from a chaotic cocktail of excitement, uncertainty and fear. The bot writes poems, sonnets and essays. It also serves as a convincing debate partner on a seemingly unlimited number of subjects.

Like many people, I am sceptical that a graduate tax is a good answer to either the funding crisis affecting higher education institutions and students or the political challenges faced by Keir Starmer and others who have spoken of getting rid of tuition fees in England. Promising a big new tax that would, in a few years’ time, come to affect over half of all younger adults seems unlikely to go down all that well on the doorstep as the next election approaches.

The stuff of science fiction isn’t nearly as far away as it once seemed. The speed of progress in tech continues to change higher education at a dramatic pace. Ideas that seemed far-fetched three years ago, like earning a four-year college degree solely by completing courses online and without ever meeting a professor in person, are now fairly common practice.

Over half of undergraduate students in the U.S. are the first in their family to attend an institution of higher learning. These first-generation students are likelier than their peers to be from minoritized backgrounds, to face economic challenges, and to juggle jobs and families in addition to school. And they may be less familiar with the “hidden curriculum”—the implicit norms and knowledge that help students navigate college life.
