University students are falling behind their international peers in attainment, while suffering from unprecedented student debt. For over a decade, the realm of American higher education has been wracked with self-doubt and mutual recrimination, with no clear solutions on the horizon. How did this happen? In this stunning new book, Christopher Newfield offers readers an in-depth analysis of the "great mistake" that led to the cycle of decline and dissolution, a mistake that impacts every public college and university in America. What might occur, he asserts, is no less than locked-in economic inequality and the fall of the middle class. In The Great Mistake, Newfield asks how we can fix higher education, given the damage done by private-sector models. The current accepted wisdom-that to succeed, universities should be more like businesses-is dead wrong. 650 0 $a Public universities and colleges $z United States $x Finance. 650 0 $a Education, Higher $x Aims and objectives $z United States. 650 0 $a Higher education and state $z United States. 650 0 $a Privatization in education $z United States. 830 0 $a Critical university studies. 941 $a 6 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724073529.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231103011647.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024120.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044719.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20180512010114.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20180512010015.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9FB5514AE9E711E69A6025A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
