For Profit and For Good opens up for critical examination a sector
of higher education that surprisingly is rarely scrutinized in
depth: the corporate institutions that have made up the fastest
growing sector of US higher education in this century. It explores
in detail the development of one such institution, Walden
University, from its emergence out of the social turmoil and
progressive education movement of the 1960s, through the succeeding
decades, characterized by changes on every front. It looks frankly
at the impact of these forces on the university's original mission
and describes the university's response to them. It investigates
the idea of whether the resources and incentives of being
for-profit have changed higher education in a way that benefits not
only investors but also learners, their workplaces, and the larger
community. Business models of management, technological
developments, and changes in an ever-evolving society are issues
every university faces and seeing how this institution grappled
with them will be instructive. Fundamentally, this book addresses
the essential ethical question of whether the for-profit sector in
higher education adds value, and, if so, what that added value
might be. This book will be of interest to researchers and students
of the history of education, alternatives in higher education, the
economics of education, education administration, reform and new
developments in higher education, online learning, and policy
studies in education. It is also relevant for policy makers and
other managers in edubusiness.
