From the dust jacket: "For much of the twentieth century there was broad political support for public funding of American higher education. Liberals supported public investment because it encouraged social equity, conservatives did so because it promoted economic development. Recently, however, the politics of higher education have become more contentious. Conservatives advocate deep cuts in public financing; liberals want to expand enrollment and increase diversity. At the same time some public universities have embraced privatization, while federal aid for students increasingly emphasizes middle-class affordability over universal access. In PUBLIC FUNDING OF HIGHER EDUCATION, scholars and practitioners address the complexities of this new climate and the impact of recent trends on policy and on political advocacy at the federal, state, and institutional levels. Rethinking traditional rationales for public financing, contributors to this volume offer alternatives for policymakers, administrators, faculty, students, and researchers struggling with this difficult practical dynamic.
