Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education
Author: Nathan D. GrawePublisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421424134
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
"The economics of American higher education are driven by one key factor--the availability of students willing to pay tuition--and many related factors that determine what schools they attend. By digging into the data, economist Nathan Grawe has created probability models for predicting college attendance. What he sees are alarming events on the horizon that every college and university needs to understand. Overall, he spots demographic patterns that are tilting the US population toward the Hispanic southwest. Moreover, since 2007, fertility rates have fallen by 12 percent. Higher education analysts recognize the destabilizing potential of these trends. However, existing work fails to adjust headcounts for college attendance probabilities and makes no systematic attempt to distinguish demand by institution type. This book analyzes demand forecasts by institution type and rank, disaggregating by demographic groups. Its findings often contradict the dominant narrative: while many schools face painful contractions, demand for elite schools is expected to grow by 15+ percent. Geographic and racial profiles will shift only slightly--and attendance by Asians, not Hispanics, will grow most. Grawe also use the model to consider possible changes in institutional recruitment strategies and government policies. These "what if" analyses show that even aggressive innovation is unlikely to overcome trends toward larger gaps across racial, family income, and parent education groups. Aimed at administrators and trustees with responsibility for decisions ranging from admissions to student support to tenure practices to facilities construction, this book offers data to inform decision-making--decisions that will determine institutional success in meeting demographic challenges"--

Financing a College Education
Author: Jacqueline Elizabeth KingPublisher: Greenwood
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
In Financing a College Education, 15 prominent policy analysts and higher education specialists describe how student costs at U.S. postsecondary institutions are met, why and how student aid policy and practice have changed over the last few years, and what enhancements to current programs would make the system more equitable. The book's first part describes the massive and unwieldy--but vitally important--system of federal, state, private, and institutional financial aid for students. The second part discusses controversial student aid issues that are currently high on the national agenda; in particular, the shift away from ensuring access and toward making college more affordable for students from middle-class families.
