Higher Ed Economics: How to Have an Informed National Conversation?

The
discussion around the economics of higher education yesterday was really amazing.
I now have a list of articles and places to research to begin to go up the learning curve of post-secondary finance. Thank you.
What I'm wondering now is how we can have an informed, nationwide discussion around the economics of higher education?
Ideally, this discussion would be online and asynchronous. I'm not saying that we don't discuss costs, access, and productivity at our existing face-to-face conferences. However, in my experience these discussion tend to be amongst peers in similar jobs (say CIO to CIO), as opposed to colleagues in different leadership positions at our institutions.
Common Application considers adding voluntary questions about sexual orientation and gender identity.
Critics say process for selecting public college leader in Tennessee was preordained to choose deputy governor. But does that mean he's the wrong person for the job?
Community colleges move from offering one or two four-year degrees to offering a range of baccalaureate options.
Small SUNY campus recruits Californians, hoping dissatisfaction with limited offerings may lure lucrative nonresidents to Cobleskill, N.Y.
