Book Synopsis Breaking the Social Contract by : Roger W. Benjamin
Download or read book Breaking the Social Contract written by Roger W. Benjamin and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1998 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central finding of this report, commissioned by the California Education Round Table, is that the present course of higher education in California--in which student demand, tuition, and costs are rising much faster than public funding--cannot be sustained. Unless effective steps are taken to alter current trends, sizable numbers of Californians will be denied access to higher education within the next 20 years. If that should happen, many will find themselves excluded from the growing number of occupations that require postsecondary course work for employment. This education bottleneck is narrowing at a time when economic inequality is increasing in the state and social demographics are shifting. The research offers recommendations for coping with this crisis that emphasize the need for greater public support of higher education in California along with comprehensive institutional reform so that available resources can be reallocated and other changes implemented to streamline operations. California must devise an effective strategic plan now for developing its human resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. The Dream Is Over tells the extraordinary story of the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education in California, created by visionary University of California President Clark Kerr and his contemporaries. The Master Plan’s equality of opportunity policy brought college within reach of millions of American families for the first time and fashioned the world’s leading system of public research universities. The California idea became the leading model for higher education across the world and has had great influence in the rapid growth of universities in China and East Asia. Yet, remarkably, the political conditions supporting the California idea in California itself have evaporated. Universal access is faltering, public tuition is rising, the great research universities face new challenges, and educational participation in California, once the national leader, lags far behind. Can the social values embodied in Kerr’s vision be renewed?

Book Synopsis The Racial Crisis in American Higher Education by : William A. Smith
Download or read book The Racial Crisis in American Higher Education written by William A. Smith and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why is it that as we enter the twenty-first century, the nation's predominantly white colleges and universities continue to be settings where people of color feel unwelcome and marginalized? The contributors to this volume dissect a variety of structural and attitudinal factors that are prevalent in the higher education community, organizational constructs and value orientations which seem to hark more to the past than to the future. They comment on the political, social, and economic factors that have shaped academic culture, and buttressed its quietly efficient maintenance of racially discriminatory practices. "The American system of higher education is often regarded as the best in the world. Smith, Altbach, and Lomotey have edited a volume that implicitly asks how much better still it could be if it embraced people of color and provided them with a supportive and nurturing environment, one which encouraged them to reach their fullest creative and intellectual potential. Indeed, this will probably be the most significant challenge that the academy faces in the twenty-first century." — William B. Harvey, Vice President and Director, Office of Minorities in Higher Education American Council on Education, Washington, D.C.

Download or read book The Quiet Crisis written by Peter Smith and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2004-05-28 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go to college. Get a good job. This sounds simple, but is this what American's higher education system is actually doing? Not for many, according to Smith (founding president, California State U.- Monterey). Drawing from his experience in state and national politics as well as his years in academia, Smith details the ways in which American higher education is failing at educating, especially in its ability to serve an increasingly diverse population in an increasingly complex and technological world. Proposing that universities change from institutions of teaching to institutions of learning, Smith proposes a number of startlingly simple innovations that will help America get into the current millennium in terms of higher education.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California long enjoyed rapid growth, abundant jobs, and expanding college opportunity--key elements of the California dream. Now the state is struggling to recover from its worst economic crisis in generations, a demographic slowdown, a devastating collapse of the wealth of the state' families from the housing crisis, and severe cutbacks in higher education. California' students are being asked to pay much more to get less. There can be no doubt that these are extraordinary times and if California is to emerge from its worst fiscal crisis in modern times, it will require sacrifice on everyone's part. Yet, in spite of a lot of discussion about the budget crisis, there has been too little analysis of the consequences of the budget cuts and far too little information on how the cuts have affected the lives and prospects of the young people trying to finish college and prepare for a future. The choices are grim for California students. Either the state develops the talent of its young people or it declines. There is no easy answer in this difficult time, but everyone needs to listen carefully to the struggling students who are the state's future. (Contains 11 tables and 4 footnotes.).

Book Synopsis California's Impending College Graduate Crisis and What Needs to Be Done about It. Policy Brief 10-2 by : Martin Carnoy
Download or read book California's Impending College Graduate Crisis and What Needs to Be Done about It. Policy Brief 10-2 written by Martin Carnoy and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005-06 almost half of the pupils in California's public schools were Latinos, but Latinos only received about 15 percent of the BA degrees awarded by public and private colleges in the state. Texas has a comparable Latino population, but does significantly better than California in getting Latino students through college. The implication of this disparity is that California stands to produce too few graduates to fuel its cutting-edge high tech and high-end service economy. In this policy brief, the author explores the reasons why California's education system falls short in ensuring post-secondary access and success for Latino students, and identifies six steps that the state could take to increase the number of four-year college graduates: (1) California middle and high schools should get financial incentives to identify potential college-bound Latino (and African-American) students and mentor them into college attendance; (2) The state should consider expanding its current University of California guarantee to the top academic four percent of seniors to Texas's norm of ten percent; (3) College counseling in California high schools has to be reorganized and strengthened, so that well trained counseling staffs can encourage minority students to choose college prep courses, and match students to colleges and funding opportunities; (4) California has to go beyond policies that greatly expanded access to community college education to policies that improve completion and transfer rates in CCCs; (5) State universities should be rewarded for identifying and supporting potential lower income minority applicants in high school; and (6) Colleges should also get financial help for providing remedial courses if necessary, and help in mentoring students in need of remediation through college to degrees. (Contains 3 tables, 8 figures and 8 endnotes.).
