Affordability, access, and accountability have long been among
the central challenges facing higher education--and they remain so
today. Here, Donald E. Heller and other higher education scholars
and practitioners explore the current debates surrounding these key
issues.
As students and their families struggle to meet rising tuition
prices, and as state funding for higher education dwindles,
policymakers confront issues of affordability within state and
institutional budgets. Changing demographics and challenges to
affirmative action complicate the admissions process even as
colleges and universities seek to diversify enrollments. And issues
of institutional accountability have forced the restructuring of
higher education governing boards and a reexamination of the role
of public trustees in governance.
This collection analyzes how issues of affordability, access,
and accountability influence the way in which state governments
approach, monitor, and set public higher education policy. The
contributors examine the latest research on pressing challenges,
explore how states are coping with these challenges, and consider
what the future holds for public postsecondary education in the
United States.
