What''s Public About Public Higher Ed? - Halting Higher Education''s Decline in the Court of Public Opinion

"This book uses survey data to examine public sentiment regarding higher education, focusing on such critical issues as how universities spend taxpayer money, the pursuit of national rankings, student financial aid, and the interplay of international activities versus efforts to create "closer to home" impact. Building on their previous book Land-Grant Universities for the Future, the coauthors unflinchingly present a no-holds-barred exploration of what citizens really think about their public universities"--
