This volume considers a wide range of viewpoints on the role higher education plays in society, the economic variables that determine whether or not a college degree is worthwhile, and the role of academic research in the private and public sectors. It also explores what could be done to make higher education more beneficial in today's society and potential alternatives to traditional higher education." -- $c Publisher description. 521 0 $a Grades 10-12+ $b Publisher. 521 2 $a Grades 9-12+ $b Publisher. 700 1 $a Ferris, Sharmila Pixy, $e editor. 700 1 $a Waldron, Kathleen, $e editor. 830 0 $a Opposing viewpoints series (Unnumbered) 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024636.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240202011636.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C4EFF5A6C19811EE857C5B5120ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
