Affordability of Higher Education

More about the book

The book examines the rising costs of college education and explores how state governance structures can enhance the efficiency and affordability of higher education. It analyzes three governance models: consolidated governing boards, coordinating boards, and planning/service agencies, assessing their effects on affordability across the 50 states. Additionally, it investigates the influence of governors, state legislatures, and special interest groups on these issues. The findings aim to assist policymakers in prioritizing resources to tackle affordability challenges in higher education.
