American higher education is increasingly in trouble. Costs are too
high, learning is too little, and underemployment abounds
post-graduation. Universities are facing an uncertain and
unsettling future with free speech suppression, out-of-control
Federal student aid programs, soaring administrative costs, and
intercollegiate athletics mired in corruption. Restoring the
Promise explores these issues and exposes the federal
government’s role in contributing to them. With up-to-date
discussions of the most recent developments on university campuses,
this book is the most comprehensive assessment of universities in
recent years, and one that decidedly rejects conventional wisdom.
Restoring the Promise is an absolute must-read for those concerned
with the future of higher education in America.
