Origin:Publications from the Forum for the Future of Higher Education (2002)

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Are Arms Races in Higher Education a Problem? (ID: FFP0412S)
Author(s):Robert Frank (Cornell University)
Source:EDUCAUSE, Forum for the Future of Higher Education
Origin:Publications from the Forum for the Future of Higher Education (2004)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Economic reward for elite educational credentials has jumped sharply in recent decades leading to a variety of positional arms races that have increased costs sharply and threatened the continued viability of need-based financial aid. The recent growth in income and wealth inequality makes the case for cost containment and need-based aid more compelling then ever.

Author(s):Beverly Daniel Tatum (Spelman College)
Origin:Publications from the Forum for the Future of Higher Education (2004)

Abstract:College enrollment among students of color has increased dramatically in the last 20 years.

Beverly Daniel Tatum offers an approach for creating an environment where such patterns are countered by meaningful engagement across lines of difference.
