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.
