Download or read book The True Costs of College written by Nancy Kendall and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the true costs of attendance faced by low- and moderate-income students on four public college campuses, and the consequences of these costs on students’ academic pathways and their social, financial, health, and emotional well-being. The authors’ exploration of the true costs of academics, living expenses, and student services leads them to conclude that current college policies and practices do not support low-income and otherwise marginalized students’ well-being or success. To counter this, they suggest that reform efforts should begin by asking value-based questions about the goals of public higher education, and end by crafting class-responsive policies. They propose three tools that policymakers can use to do this work, and steps that every person can take to revitalize public support for public education, equity-producing policies, and democratic participation in the public arena.
Download or read book The College Cost Disease written by Robert E. Martin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College cost per student has been on the rise at a pace that matches - or exceeds - healthcare costs. Unlike healthcare, though, teaching quality has declined, and rapidly rising costs and declining quality are not trends easily forgiven by society. The College Cost Disease addresses these problems, providing a behavioral framework for the chronic cost/quality consequences with which higher education is fraught. Providing many compelling insights into the issues plaguing higher education, Robert Martin expounds upon H. R. Bowen's revenue theory of cost by detailing experience good theory, the principal/agent problem, and non-profit status. Reputation competition dominates higher education. Students and their parents, and public opinion in general, associate higher tuition with higher quality and greater accolades; price is used as a proxy for quality only when consumers are uncertain about quality prior to purchase. Higher education services are the most complex types of ?experience goods'; a service whose quality can only be determined after a purchase has been made. Applying formal economic theory to higher education, Robert Martin examines how and why attempts to control costs are controversial and the damaging effects these controversies have on institutions' reputations. Arguing that the college access problem cannot be solved until colleges and universities find a way to control their costs, this book brings to the fore the leading ideas that will bring about much-needed budgetary reform in higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are about three million new college every year. College is expensive; it is traumatic for the adolescent who doesn't know what to expect, and for their parents faced with horrendous costs to students and unsure if this college, or any college, is the best choice. "Cutting College Costs And Other Good Ideas for College Students" is written to reduce the anxiety of both parents and new college students. The book's emphasis is on reducing the cost of college. While financial aid of various sorts is available and is discussed, the book emphasizes other ways to control costs. It also covers virtually every aspect of college from selecting the right school to dealing with the first year's experience, and, eventually, dealing with the college's placement office. This 42,400 word book begins with high school and explains how the AP and CLEP programs can earn college credit and thereby save money. Is special coaching to improve entrance exam performance worthwhile? How do you select a school likely to welcome you? The powerful college marketing process is examined and some reality about what to expect on your campus visit is provided. The college ranking industry is questioned. The pros and cons of an Ivy League education are discussed. Proprietary colleges and their problems are highlighted as are the variety of online and hybrid online courses. Saving money by beginning at a community college and then transferring to a four year school is explored, as is living at home and commuting, with the inherent problems and benefits of these routes. The difference between colleges and universities is described, giving attention to the advantages and disadvantages of school size, and who is likely to be teaching the undergraduates in each one. Reducing the high cost of college textbooks, attending class, drinking and drugs, and getting along with roommates are all discussed. There are sections on how to study, how to take tests, evaluating faculty, buying term papers, the college's counseling service, and fraternities and sororities. Much of the material is based on the author's personal experience through eight years of college and graduate school, and over thirty years as a college professor.
