The True Genius of America at Risk - Are We Losing Our Public Universities to De Facto Privatization?

Lyall is President Emeritus of the University of Wisconsin System and professor of economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; she is currently Visiting Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Kathleen R. Sell is senior lecturer in the Integrated Liberal Studies Program, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; she formerly served as Vice President for Budget Planning and Chief Budget Officer for the University of Wisconsin System. Klappentext Lyall and Sell have opened a candid public policy discussion about the future of public universities. This is the only book-length treatment of public higher education finance at the beginning of the 21st century that looks comprehensively at state experiments and dilemmas, and attempts to envision possible future paths. Lyall and Sell describe market forces that are eroding the traditional partnership between states and public universities. By outlining how the search for new revenue sources is refocusing the basic goals of public universities, the authors clarify what has gone wrong_and what can be done to save these valuable American institutions.
