This book examines the idea of educational accountability in higher
education, which has become a new secular gospel. But do
accountability policies actually make colleges better? What if
educational accountability tools don't actually measure what
they're supposed to? What if accountability data isn't valid, or
worse, what if it's meaningless? What if administrators don't know
how to use accountability tools or correctly analyze the
problematic data these tools produce? What if we can't measure, let
alone accurately assess, what matters most with teaching or student
learning. What if students don't learn much in college? What if
higher education was never designed to produce student learning?
What if college doesn't help most students, either personally or
economically? What if higher education isn't meritocratic, actually
exacerbates inequality, and makes the lives of disadvantaged
students even worse? This book will answer these questions with a
wide, interdisciplinary range of the latest scientific research.
