Teege argues that just as Kelley Blue Book stripped used-car dealers of their information monopoly, accessible AI tools now empower under-resourced families to interrogate opaque pricing models, debunk inflated medical school admit rates, and cut through manipulated post-grad employment statistics. Despite the systemic dysfunctions, Teege lays out an optimistic case for campus practitioners: because higher education built these broken structures, everyday enrollment and marketing leaders possess the power to dismantle them and rebuild genuine trust."}
