After decades of effortless growth and prosperity, America's
postsecondary institutions of education have come under increasing
financial stress and waning public support. In part, this stress
reflects a slowdown in the real rate of national economic growth
and the loss of federal and state revenues for education generally.
It also reflects a trend of state legislatures simply giving higher
education an ever lower ranking on the list of funding priorities.
Postsecondary educational institutions in the United States will
continue to face increasing financial stress and waning public
support as critics question the contribution of higher education to
economic growth, which historically has been a major rationale for
funding. Unless the trends in education financing can be changed,
higher edu cation can be expected to stagnate. What, if anything,
can be done? As a starting point, advocates of higher education
need to more fully recognize the important ways in which higher
education influences technological change and also is influenced by
that change. As demonstrated by the chapters in this book, higher
education is not a neutral or passive player in economic growth.
This volume addresses topics related to the role of postsecondary
education in national economic development within the United
States."
