All the Essential Half-Truths about Higher Education

University Of Chicago Press; 1 edition | January 19, 1998 | ISBN-10: 0226616541 | 266 pages | PDF | 11.3 Mb

In this refreshing and original exploration, George Dennis OBrien looks at higher education in America. OBrien argues that to debate intelligently the future of education we must stop focusing on its ideals and look instead at its institutions. He does this by addressing nine half-truths, such as whether low cost public education benefits the least advantaged in society, and goes on to examine how accurately they reflect the true state of higher education. The result is a thought-provoking discussion of the present challenges and future prospects of American higher education.
