Download or read book Public Funding of Higher Education written by Edward P. St. John and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2005-09-23 with total page 280 pages. 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: Trends in Student Aid, an annual College Board publication since 1983, is a compendium of detailed, up-to-date information on the funding that is available to help students pay for college. This report documents grant aid from federal and state governments, colleges and universities, employers, and other private sources, as well as loans, tax benefits, and Federal Work-Study Assistance. It examines changes in funding levels over time, reports on the distribution of aid across students with different incomes and attending different types of institutions, and tracks the debt students incur as they pursue their educational opportunities. Report findings are organized into the following categories: (1) Total Aid; (2) Federal Aid; (3) Grants; (4) Loans; (5) Education Tax Benefits and College Savings Plans; and (6) Inflation Adjustment. The dramatic economic disruptions of the Great Recession had a major impact on colleges and universities, their students, and the multifaceted financial aid system that has developed to help students and their families pay for higher education. The data reported in "Trends in Student Aid 2013" reveal that the sharp increases in federal grant aid and in student borrowing accompanying the financial crisis have not been repeated. Indeed, while the federal government continues to play a large and increased role in funding students, spending on both federal grants and federal loans decreased in 2012-13.

Download or read book Shaping the College Experience Outside the Classroom written by James J. Scannell and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past generations of American students have met the expenses of going to college by pursuing summer jobs and working around twenty hours a week during the academic year; however, such employment is not now so readily available, and with the cost of college tuition increasing, alternative means of funding need to be sought. In an attempt to solve the problem, a number of universities, following the original examples of Cornell, devised programs focusing on the creation of useful and career-related employment opportunities in order to help students pay for a significant portion of their college expenses. This book records the outcome of these programs, evaluating firstly what they accomplished, through relating the experiences of a number of participants, and going on to offer suggestions on setting them up. Of interest to all working in higher education, and especially careers planners and developers, it aims to provide a set of ideas and projects for use with students.
Download or read book Power and Politics written by Michael D. Parsons and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1997-09-25 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power and Politics provides the most intimate view of federal higher education policymaking since Congress and the Colleges. The question of power, often ignored by higher education policy analysts and researchers, is the focus of this study of federal higher education policymaking in the 1990s. Conventional measures and assessments of power reveal that the Washington-based higher education associations are not powerful policy actors. However, the associations apparently have succeeded in convincing Congress to dramatically expand the scope and size of federal student aid programs authorized under the Higher Education Act (HEA). The 1992 HEA reauthorization and the Clinton student aid agenda provide case studies as the author seeks to resolve the contradiction between conventional measures of power and actual policy outcomes in the federal higher education policy arena.
