More Book Details

Description of the Book:

In this article, one particular complex of issues being considered by Congress as part of the Higher Education Act (HEA) reauthorization process is addressed. These issues have to do with the rising costs of college attendance, their consequent impact on accessibility, and the appropriate federal role, if any, in regulating price increases. As a higher education administrator, the author finds the prospect of federal legislation to monitor or control the price of tuition alarming. The proposal is based on a misunderstanding of the economics of higher education, especially of institutions that are dedicated to personalized undergraduate teaching. The author dispels some of that misunderstanding. (Contains 1 note
