DOWNLOAD EBOOKAffordability, access, and accountability have long been among the central challenges facing higher education -- and they remain so today. Here, Donald E. Heller and other higher education scholars and practitioners explore the current debates surrounding these key issues. As students and their families struggle to meet rising tuition prices, and as state funding for higher education dwindles, policymakers confront issues of affordability within state and institutional budgets. Changing demographics and challenges to affirmative action complicate the admissions process even as colleges and universities seek to diversify enrollments. And issues of institutional accountability have forced the restructuring of higher education governing boards and a reexamination of the role of public trustees in governance. This collection analyzes how issues of affordability, access, and accountability influence the way in which state governments approach, monitor, and set public higher education policy. The contributors examine the latest research on pressing challenges, explore how states are coping with these challenges, and consider what the future holds for public postsecondary education in the United States. Praise for the first edition "Affordability, access, and accountability will continue to be hot-button issues as legislators at all levels address constituents' concerns about their children's future... Any administrator who wants to gain a deeper understanding of these issues... might do well to spend some time with these essays." -- University Business

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume examines tuition fees as the most prominent and most visible trend among higher education policies that embodies recent neoliberal trends in the policy area of education. Tuition fee policies and the accompanying provisions for student support illustrate the contemporary tensions between marketisation and social justice. Among the major transformations higher education systems have undergone in the last two decades, the emergence of marketisation, and in particular the introduction of tuition fees, have received a lot of attention. In Europe, these trends seemingly break with a long-dominant representation of higher education as a public good, which has been at the centre of the process of massification of higher education access in most European countries since the 1960s. Against this background, the volume examines recent changes in tuition fee policies in a number of western European countries, Canada, the United States and China, and investigates the impacts of these changes on access to higher education. There are two main contributions the volume makes: first, it provides an overview of recent reforms in a comparative perspective, including a diverse range of national contexts; second, it elaborates a systematic analysis of tuition fee policies’ rationales, instruments and outcomes in terms of access to higher education. The volume argues that tuition fee policies provide fruitful grounds to explore the variety of neoliberal trends in higher education, that is, how marketisation and concerns regarding social justice are intertwined in contemporary higher education systems.

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)
