In this refreshing and original exploration, George Dennis O'Brien looks at higher education in America. O'Brien argues that to debate intelligently the future of education we must stop focusing on its ideals and look instead at its institutions. He does this by addressing nine half-truths, such as whether low cost public education benefits the least advantaged in society, and goes onto examine how accurately they reflect the true state of higher education. The result is a thought-provoking discussion of the present challenges and future prospects of American higher education.Argues that an intelligent debate on the future of higher education in America requires a study of its institutions, not its ideals. Showing how US higher education has changed in the 20th century, this book examines how its institutions respond to financial, technological and cultural change.
