As the economic value of education increases, as more students seek
to complete college courses while forgoing the "undergraduate
experience," and as funding for public higher education decreases,
the for-profit higher education sector has exploded. In New
Players, Different Game, William G. Tierney and Guilbert C.
Hentschke compare for-profit and not-for-profit models of higher
education to assess the strengths and weaknesses of both.
For-profit institutions offer a fundamentally distinct type of
postsecondary education. Some critics argue the institutions are so
different they should not be accepted as an integral part of the
American higher education system. Here, Tierney and Hentschke
explore what traditional and nontraditional colleges and
universities can learn from each other, comparing how they recruit
students, employ faculty, and organize instructional programs. The
authors suggest that, rather than continuing their standoff, the
two sectors could mutually benefit from examining each other's
culture, practices, and outcomes.
