In this episode of The EduData Podcast, Timothy Davis and Jamie Boggs take a closer look at recent data from the College Board’s "Trends in College Pricing and Student Aid" report. Is the cost of higher education really as overwhelming as we've been led to believe, or has inflation adjusted tuition actually declined over the years? They discuss the surprising insights about net tuition trends, rising non-tuition expenses, and how this shift could change the way students, parents, and institutions think about college affordability.

Guest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shauncarver

Guest Bio: Shaun Carver is currently Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the International House at University of California Berkeley and has been in the role since August 2020. He served as Assistant Dean for Graduate Programs in the Rady School of Management, UC San Diego (2017-2020), and as Executive Director of the Hult International Business School (Boston, New York, San Francisco, Shanghai; 2013-2017), where he oversaw 750 students representing 82 countries. Before that, he served in leadership positions in institutions of international higher education in China (2002-2013) at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, Tsinghua University, and the Sino-British College of the University of Shanghai Science and Technology (USST).

Shaun received his B.A. (High Technology Management), and an M.B.A. from California State University, San Marcos. He is currently pursuing a doctorate in education (Ed.D.) at the University of Southern California.

Shaun’s father is American and his mother British, thereby allowing Shaun to hold citizenship in both the United States and the United Kingdom. As a child, the family moved around often, within the U.S., and lived for two years in Ireland. Shaun traveled widely during his years in Asia, through China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mongolia, Japan, and many other countries throughout the continent. He feels at home in cross-cultural situations.

He met his wife, Bei Bei Zheng, in Shanghai. Her family, originally from the seaport city of Wenzhou, is also international, with some members currently living in Italy. Their two children, LiAnne (age 8) and James Maxwell [Max] (age 6), are comfortable in multicultural environments, spending significant time with family in China, Italy, and the U.S.
