Book Description
Educating the Top 100 Percent assesses the decline of higher education funding and offers ambitious policy recommendations to restore the possibility of accessible, affordable education for all. Stephen G. Katsinas, Nathaniel J. Bray, and Martha J. Kanter probe the complex interplay of federal, state, and local policies and illustrate how government actions have, over time, contributed to the long-term slide of US educational attainment. Declining federal and state funding of public higher education has forced institutions to revise their financial models, passing costs directly through to students, to the detriment of prospective students—and the nation. Experts in education policy, the authors point out how the unintended consequences of today's funding model deny an ever-increasing portion of the population important educational and professional opportunities. By providing context for how we arrived at this financial conundrum and analyzing robust quantitative data from national sources, Katsinas and his colleagues offer pragmatic, sustainable, and stable policy options for educating all Americans. The authors provide innovative ideas, key lessons learned, and actionable proposals to fund public higher education. Their top-down federal and bottom-up local and state policy solutions aim to rectify plummeting high school-to-college continuation and college graduation rates. As a result, they present a vision of a brighter economic, cultural, and civic future for educating all Americans. Educating the Top 100 Percent demonstrates how stable, sustainable funding policies can scaffold a better public higher education system for all.

Financing Community Colleges, 1988

ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
This review of state approaches to community college financing includes information from 42 states, representing 97% of the total community college enrollments in the country. Section I offers a brief analysis of the status of community college financing in 1988, highlighting several changes in resource allocation methods. The report notes that funds are directed to institutions on the basis of individual and/or system negotiation instead of by full-time student equivalent (FTE); that the political influence of the system/institution has increasingly become a major factor in determining allocations; and that states are increasingly computing allocations based on a "cost to continue" with an increased number of instances of funding for defined categorical aid. Section II presents tables showing, for each state: (1) operating funds by source; (2) sources of state appropriations by percent for general operating and unrestricted funds; (3) mean expenditures of operating costs for credit programs; (4) rank order of states by reported expenditure per FTE student; (5) states reporting or anticipating changes in methods of financial support; (6) state funds which are categorical or for limited use; (7) sources of funds for capital outlay; (8) sources of funding for noncredit courses; (9) tuition/fee changes; (10) financial aid changes; (11) state provisions for colleges experiencing enrollment declines; and (12) state financial problems. Section III offers brief case studies of the financial situation in each state, grouped by type of funding method. Finally, section IV suggests revised criteria for financing community colleges. A 23-item bibliography is included. (UCM)
