Are today’s diplomas worth the debt? It’s an old question being debated anew in these economic times. On Friday’s NewsHour broadcast, four panelists will examine the value of a higher education: Peter Thiel of The Thiel Foundation; Michael Roth of Wesleyan University; author Azar Nafasi; and Richard Vedder of Ohio University.

Then on Tuesday, you’ll have a chance to ask some of the panelists your questions in a live chat at 1 p.m. ET.

Joining the chat will be Nafisi, author of “Reading Lolita in Tehran,” and Roth, president of Wesleyan University. And we’re lining up more experts, so stay tuned.
