Quality has never been more important for the future of higher education and the economy than it is today. Unfortunately, the decline in student quality is accompanied by costs that are out of control, a governance system that will not permit any reallocation of resources, and a society that expects higher education to address problems that are well beyond its core competencies. In this timely volume, Robert E. Martin presents a thorough treatment of the social contract between those who fund higher education and those who benefit from it. Contents: Foreword 1. The Social Contract 2. Foundations 3. Production and Cost 4. The Charity Market 5. An Enterprise Model 6. Price and Product Differentiation 7. College Access 8. Overview References Index
