DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report analyzes state policies and practices in pricing public higher education through tuition levels and related issues of finance, access, and policy development. The first chapter outlines the current heightened tension over tuition levels and policies. Chapter 2 looks at policies and procedures for tuition at public institutions as they vary across states. This section examines factors such as tuition guidelines and institutional philosophies, bodies with authority in setting tuition, economic and cost factors used in setting tuition, and policies that relate tuition to the cost of education. Chapter 3 examines the increased interest in tuition differentials, waivers, and financial assistance for students to help offset tuition charges. This section notes and examines the increasing move to make decisions about eligibility or amount of assistance provided to individual students at the state policy level through guidelines, eligibility criteria, limiting assistance waivers, or determining assistance through standardized formulas. Chapter 4 examines the growth in tuition as a source of revenue to support public higher education which reflects increases in tuition rates as well as other factors. Appendixes include a 1992-93 survey of state tuition policies, three tables on state tuition and fees, and summary data on tuition revenues in public institutions by state. (JB)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMany of today's parents yearn to live in or near the lively, culturally vibrant heart of the city—in diverse, walkable neighborhoods full of music and theater, accessible to museums and stores, awash in ethnic eateries, and radiating a true sense of community. This is a major shift from recent generations that saw middle class families trading urban centers for suburbs with lawns, malls, parks, and good schools. But good schools still matter. And standing in the way of many parents' urban aspirations is the question: Will the public schools in the city provide a strong education for my kids? To be sure, lots of parents favor sending their sons and daughters to diverse schools with children from a variety of racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. But can such schools successfully meet the educational needs of all those different kids? How do middle class children fare in these environments? Is there enough challenge and stimulation in schools that also struggle to help poor immigrant children reach basic standards? Is there too much focus on test scores? And why is it so hard to find diverse public schools with a progressive, child-centered approach to education? These quandaries and more are addressed in this groundbreaking book by Michael J. Petrilli, one of America's most trusted education experts and a father who himself is struggling with the Diverse Schools Dilemma.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow do Canadian graduate students experience institutional funding? The Politics of Exclusion in Graduate Education answers this question by offering an in-depth examination into the nature of institutional funding arrangements from graduate students' standpoint. It explores the students' perspectives on access to funding, and the impact on their learning experience. The focus on graduate students is timely in the ongoing discussion of neoliberal education policies and the resulting commercialization of higher education in Canada. This study links current discussions about the direction of higher education funding and the impact for accessible and inclusive education. How do graduate students negotiate institutional arrangements to accommodate the funding practices they encounter? What does their competition for the scarce resources imply? The Politics of Exclusion in Graduate Education is both a reflection on the current state of the graduate experience, as well as a directive forward to a more inclusive process of allocating resources across graduate faculties and institutions.
