Postsecondary educational institutions in the United States are
facing increasing financial stress and waning public support.
Unless these trends can be changed, higher education 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 issues associated with the economic mission of higher education
and how this mission gets translated into individual student gains,
regional growth, and social equity. This requires an understanding
of the relationship between the outcomes of higher education and
measures of economic productivity and well-being. This volume
addresses topics related to the role of postsecondary education in
microeconomic development within the United States. At tention is
given to the importance of colleges and universities 'in the
enhancement of individual students and in the advancement of the
com munities and states within which they work. Although several of
the chapters in this volume are aimed at research/teaching
universities, much of what is presented throughout can be
generalized to all of postsecondary education. Little attention,
however, is given to the role of higher education in the
macroeconomic development of the United States; this topic is
covered in our related book, American Higher Education and National
Growth."
