Contents:
Their answer always is yes : higher education cost inflation and governing boards -- Governing boards and economic mobility -- Who's in charge and does it make any difference? -- Tuition and fees, governing boards, and state financial support -- We can do better I : governing boards, legislatures, and governors -- We can do better II : looking inside our public colleges and universities -- A proposed action agenda for governing boards.
Summary: "This book, written by two economists, argues that those who sit on boards of trustees for public universities have not used their political clout to counteract the trend toward decreased state funding of higher education and consequent increases in tuition. Instead trustees have voted overwhelmingly in favor of tuition hikes. The authors make suggestions for what boards can do to mitigate rising costs"-- Provided by publisher.
