Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to provide policymakers and the general public with basic information about both the benefits and the costs of higher education. Some of this information illuminates the difference that postsecondary education makes to the prosperity of a state and its citizens. Also contained in this report are lesser known facts about the costs of higher education and who pays for it. The report begins by evaluating the current evidence on the benefits of higher education and how Michigan would benefit from increased participation in higher education. Information is provided on what (and whom) it costs to provide higher education in Michigan. The report concludes by considering the costs of increased participation to the state, the student and the institutions, what trade offs there might be, some expectations might be, and what policies and practices would have to change to make increased participation work. Two trends in the data presented appear both clear and essential to a discussion of Michigan's future. The first trend concerns the benefits of higher education: more education makes a difference. The individual benefits associated with postsecondary education cut across all aspects of quality of life, but the economic benefit is particularly compelling. College graduates earn more money, and the difference in income between those with post-secondary education and those without it has continued to widen because the earning power of those without it has shrunk consistently over the past 30 years. Once a desirable advantage in employment, post-secondary education has increasingly become a prerequisite to stable employment and a middle-class income. The data also suggest that what is good for the individual is good for the state: states with higher rates of college graduates are more prosperous than those with lower rates. The second trend in the data presented in this report concerns the costs of higher education. Although it is true that the price of college has consistently risen faster than inflation, a perhaps more important trend is that the cost of college has fundamentally shifted from the state to the student. Thirty years ago, state appropriations accounted for 75 percent of the public university budget; today that portion is less than half. Additionally, state and federal financial aid to students has failed to keep up with inflation, meaning that students and families have had to shoulder more of the costs of college than ever before. The convergence of these two trends (the increasing importance of postsecondary education with the shift in financing that education in public institutions from the state to the individual) is arguably the greatest challenge facing Michigan and its leaders. The policy options available to state officials in response to this challenge is complicated by the voluntary nature of postsecondary participation, the relatively autonomous status of Michigan's public universities, and the inherent difficulty of expanding the capacity of higher education in Michigan without diminishing its quality. The author concludes that the only certainty is that Michigan's current path of relatively low post-secondary participation and relatively low state support for those who pursue it is a dead end. Finding the right balance between cost, access and quality is crucial to the state's economic future. (Contains 117 endnotes, 5 figures, and 21 tables.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The number of students seeking postsecondary education at public or private nonprofit institutions has increased by 31 percent over the last decade, and close to 90 percent of the overall student population is now enrolled in these types of schools. As demand for a postsecondary education has grown, so has the cost, and families are finding college increasingly difficult to afford. To help students pay for college, the Department of Education (Education) provides assistance through Title IV of the Higher Education Act, awarding $133 billion in federal student aid in the 2009-2010 school year.To help ensure transparency and accountability in the public and private nonprofit postsecondary education sectors, GAO was asked to review schools in these sectors with respect to their (1) revenue trends; (2) expenditure trends; (3) student graduation rates; and (4) disclosure of information to students on cost of attendance, graduation rates, and future employment. GAO reviewed relevant federal laws and regulations, reports, and Education records and data on revenues, expenditures, completion rates, and student characteristics. GAO also interviewed Education and postsecondary association officials and conducted site visits to a nonrepresentative sample of nine schools representing a range of size, type, and geographic location. The results of the site visits are not generalizable to all public and private nonprofit schools. Education provided"

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postsecondary educational institutions in the United States are facing increasing financial stress and waning public support. Unless these trends can be changed, higher education can be expected to stagnate. What, if anything, can be done? As a starting point, advocates of higher education need to more fully recognize the issues associated with the economic mission of higher education and how this mission gets translated into individual student gains, regional growth, and social equity. This requires an understanding of the relationship between the outcomes of higher education and measures of economic productivity and well-being. This volume addresses topics related to the role of postsecondary education in microeconomic development within the United States. At tention is given to the importance of colleges and universities 'in the enhancement of individual students and in the advancement of the com munities and states within which they work. Although several of the chapters in this volume are aimed at research/teaching universities, much of what is presented throughout can be generalized to all of postsecondary education. Little attention, however, is given to the role of higher education in the macroeconomic development of the United States; this topic is covered in our related book, American Higher Education and National Growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP), this groundbreaking new handbook assembles in one place the existing research-based knowledge in education finance and policy, thereby helping to define this evolving field of research and practice. It provides a readily available resource for anyone seriously involved in education finance and policy in the United States and around the world. The Handbook traces the evolution of the field from its initial focus on school inputs and the revenue sources used to finance these inputs to a focus on educational outcomes and the larger policies used to achieve them. It shows how the current decision-making context in school finance inevitably interacts with those of governance, accountability, equity, privatization, and other areas of education policy. Because a full understanding of the important contemporary issues requires input from a variety of perspectives, the Handbook draws on contributors from a variety of disciplines. While many of the chapters cover complex state-of-the-art empirical research, the authors explain key concepts in language that non-specialists can understand.
