A masterful history of the postwar transformation of American
higher education In the decades after World War II, as government
and social support surged and enrollments exploded, the role of
colleges and universities in American society changed dramatically.
Roger Geiger provides an in-depth history of this remarkable
transformation, taking readers from the GI Bill and the postwar
expansion of higher education to the social upheaval of the 1960s
and 1970s, desegregation and coeducation, and the ascendancy of the
modern research university. He demonstrates how growth has been the
defining feature of modern higher education, but how each
generation since the war has pursued it for different reasons.
Sweeping in scope and richly insightful, this groundbreaking book
provides the context we need to understand the complex issues
facing our colleges and universities today, from rising inequality
and skyrocketing costs to deficiencies in student preparedness and
lax educational standards.
