College tuition has risen more rapidly than the overall inflation rate for much of the past century. To explain rising college cost, the authors place the higher education industry firmly within the larger economic history of the United States.
The Road Ahead for America's Colleges and Universities
Archibald and Feldman, leading observers of the scene, provide an incisive overview of the challenges facing and possibilities for America's universities and colleges in their training future generations.
Redesigning the Financial Aid System
Archibald argues that one of the problems with the current model - in which universities are responsible for the majority of grants, while the federal government provides student loans - is that a student cannot know the final price of attending a given institution until after he or she has applied, been accepted, and received a financial aid offer. As a result, students remain largely uninformed about the cost of their college educations until very late in the decision-making process, and thus have difficulty making a timely choice. In addition, financial aid information is kept private, creating confusion over the price of a college education and the role of financial aid.
