商品描述

While many students, parents, educators, and organizations who hire their graduates hold US universities in high regard, the cost of higher education has risen much faster than the rate of inflation. High costs, in turn, have severely limited access to higher education for large portions of the US population or caused graduates and those who fall short of graduation to face substantial student loan debt. This book examines the root causes of these underlying problems and offers a comprehensive, easy-to-understand, high-impact solution. The book identifies actions that improve higher education outcomes including lower tuition costs, better access for student from low and middle income homes, faster throughput, fewer dropouts, and better job opportunities for graduates. It links a real and implementable solution to the underlying problems and their root causes. Upon finishing this book, readers should understand why the performance of higher education needs to improve and have solid ideas about how to fix it. The book focuses on public universities, but the ideas discussed are also applicable to private for-profit and not-for-profit universities. The writing style is simple and direct.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

雖然許多學生、家長、教育工作者以及聘用其畢業生的組織對美國大學持高度評價,但高等教育的成本卻以遠快於通貨膨脹的速度上升。高昂的費用反過來嚴重限制了美國人口中大量人群獲得高等教育的機會,或使畢業生及未能畢業的人面臨巨額的學生貸款債務。本書探討了這些根本問題的根源,並提供了一個全面、易於理解且具有高影響力的解決方案。本書確定了改善高等教育成果的行動,包括降低學費、為來自低收入和中等收入家庭的學生提供更好的進入機會、加快學習進度、減少輟學率以及為畢業生提供更好的就業機會。它將一個真實且可實施的解決方案與根本問題及其根源聯繫起來。讀者在完成本書後,應該能理解為何高等教育的表現需要改善,並對如何修正這一問題有清晰的想法。本書專注於公立大學,但所討論的理念同樣適用於私立營利和非營利大學。寫作風格簡單明瞭。
