This volume provides a comprehensive and evenhanded overview of the
escalating college affordability crisis in the United States. It
explains how higher education became so expensive and explores the
implications of high college loan debt for students and American
society. The 21st Century Turning Point series is a one-stop
resource for understanding the people and events changing America
today. Each volume provides readers with a clear, authoritative,
and unbiased understanding of a single issue or event that is
driving national debate about our country's leaders, institutions,
values, and priorities. This particular volume is devoted to the
issue of the rising cost of higher education in the United States.
The expense of pursuing a college degree has become so high for so
many students, in fact, that the country is experiencing what many
educators, economists, parents, and students describe as a college
affordability crisis. This work provides an accessible, accurate
account of the factors driving this trend, including dramatic
reductions in higher education spending by states; for-profit
colleges; predatory, unscrupulous, and lightly regulated student
loan service companies; and spiraling spending by colleges and
universities competing to attract students. Entries devoted to
specific events and milestones related to the student loan crisis
Biographical profiles of important lawmakers, public officials, and
reformers Essays that explore the lasting impact of the college
affordability crisis on students, families, institutions of higher
education, and American society as a whole Annotated bibliography
