This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious book grows out of the realization that a convergence of economic, demographic, and political forces in the early twenty-first century requires a fundamental reexamination of the financing of American higher education. The authors identify and address basic issues and trends that cut across the sectors of higher education, focusing on such questions as how much higher education the country needs for individual opportunity and for economic viability in the future; how responsibility for paying for it is currently allocated; and how financing higher education should be addressed in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the twentieth century saw broad political support for public funding of American higher education. Liberals supported public investment because it encouraged social equity, conservatives because it promoted economic development. Recently, however, the politics of higher education have become more contentious. Conservatives advocate deep cuts in public financing; liberals want to expand enrollment and increase diversity. Some public universities have embraced privatization, while federal aid for students increasingly emphasizes middle-class affordability over universal access. In Public Funding of Higher Education, scholars and practitioners address the complexities of this new climate and its impact on policy and political advocacy at the federal, state, and institutional levels. Rethinking traditional rationales for public financing, contributors to this volume offer alternatives for policymakers, administrators, faculty, students, and researchers struggling with this difficult practical dynamic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuition, in real terms and across American universities, has roughly tripled over the past four decades. Through a review of the literature and the collection of basic data, we find support for the theory that the increases in federal financial support (loans and grants) for students have led to a significant share of these increases in tuition. We also find evidence against the assertion by some prominent researchersőused as support for devoting more federal resources to higher educationőthat in recent decades the wage premium for college education has increased, the supply of college-educated workers has been relatively weak, and wage inequality has increased as a result. Finally, we report data about the massive increase in the volume of federal student loans and about rising default rates on average and in particular among nontraditional students. The concomitant increase in tuition, increase in student loan defaults, and decline in average student quality, along with the unclear economic benefits to significant segments of former students and the current workforce, lead one to question whether the massive increase in federal support for higher education is achieving its goals.

This book was released on 1991-04-08 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origins of Federal Support for Higher Education revises the traditional interpretation of the land-grant college movement, whose institutions were brought into being by the 1862 Morrill Act to provide for "the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes." Rather than being the inevitable consequence of the unfolding dynamic of institutional and socioeconomic forces, Williams argues, it was the active intervention and initiative of a handful of educational leaders that secured the colleges' future—above all, the activities of George W. Atherton. For nearly three decades, Atherton, who was the seventh president of the Pennsylvania State University, worked to secure consistent federal financial support for the colleges, which in their early years received little assistance from the states they were designed to benefit. He also helped to develop the institutions as comprehensive "national" universities grounded in the liberal arts and sciences—a conception that countered the prevailing view of the colleges as mainly agricultural schools. Atherton became the prime mover in the campaign to enact the 1887 Hatch Act, which encouraged the establishment of agricultural experiment stations at land-grant colleges. The act marked the federal government's first effort to provide continuous funding to research units associated with higher education institutions. At the same time, Atherton played a key role in the formation of the first association of such institutions: The Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations. It was the Association that provided the critical mass needed to lobby Congress successively and to approach the many opportunities and threats the land-grant colleges faced during the 1885–1906 period. Atherton was also deeply involved in the campaign for the Morrill Act of 1890, which provided long-sought annual appropriations to land-grant colleges for a broad range of academic programs and encouraged steady growth in state support during the 1890s. Roger Williams traces the motives and tactics behind a series of laws that made the federal government irreversibly committed to funding higher education and scientific research and provides rich new insights into the complexities, polarities, and inherent contradictions of the history of the American land-grant movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of these proposals, one of which would increase federal aid funding by $100 billion over 10 years, we review the current state of affairs in higher education, the impact that increased federal aid has had so far, and whether more federal aid is the correct treatment for the problem of rising tuition prices. In order to assess the effectiveness of federal funding in support of aspiring college students, we review the existing literature and publicly available data. In addition, we examine the hypothesis that increases in federal aid funding for college students may actually be the primary driver of increases in tuition, rather than a way to lower costs for students as intended. The evidence broadly suggests that institutions of higher education are capturing need-based federal aid and responding to increased federal aid generosity by reducing institutional aid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the universal phenomenon of cost-sharing in higher education -- where financial responsibility shifts from governments and taxpayers to students and families. Growing costs for education far outpace public revenue streams that once supported it. Even with financial aid and scholarships defraying some of these costs, students are responsible for a greater share of the cost of higher education. Shows how economically diverse countries all face similar cost-sharing challenges. While cost-sharing is both politically and ideologically debated, it is imperative to implement it for the financial health of colleges and universities From publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Financing a College Education, 15 prominent policy analysts and higher education specialists describe how student costs at U.S. postsecondary institutions are met, why and how student aid policy and practice have changed over the last few years, and what enhancements to current programs would make the system more equitable. The book's first part describes the massive and unwieldy--but vitally important--system of federal, state, private, and institutional financial aid for students. The second part discusses controversial student aid issues that are currently high on the national agenda; in particular, the shift away from ensuring access and toward making college more affordable for students from middle-class families.
