In Accountability and Opportunity in Higher Education, leading
scholars address the unforeseen impact of accountability standards
on students of color and the institutions that disproportionately
serve them. The book describes how federal policies can worsen
existing racial inequalities in higher education and offers
alternative solutions aimed to protect and advance civil rights for
low-income and minority students and their colleges. This volume
begins with a chapter putting higher education accountability in
historical perspective and connecting it to the increasing
importance of postsecondary education for upward mobility, coupled
with rising barriers to minority student access and success. Based
on a series of studies using cutting-edge research methodologies,
the contributors suggest new ways to design and evaluate
accountability policies that avoid predictable negative
consequences. Written against a backdrop of unequal opportunity and
racial inequality in preparation for and access to higher
education, Accountability and Opportunity in Higher Education
arrives at a pivotal time in American education.
