Research shows that all sectors of society, across age and racial
groups, consider access to higher education as essential to
achieving satisfying employment and a better quality of life. Yet
there has been surprisingly little public discussion about recent
major changes in higher education access and funding and no policy
debate about how to respond to Americans' growing aspirations about
college.This book stimulates debate by presenting research about
future demand: changing patterns of postsecondary participation and
census projections over the next fifteen years, and their
implications for resources and funding.The author disaggregates
state data, taking into account states' individual histories, size,
age demographics, regional characteristics and priorities, to show
the different policy options available. Rather advancing any
particular policy, the author aims to stimulate an informed
discussion about alternative strategies to meet demand and increase
access. What is the college population likely to look like in 2015?
What are the projected patterns for traditional and adult students?
What factors will influence enrollment in private or public
institutions, or two- or four-year colleges? The authors set their
analyses in the context of the public and private benefits of
higher education. This volume presents multiple scenarios of future
enrollment, and state-by-state comparisons, that are vital for
setting priorities and determining the implications of increasing
access to higher education.
