With public colleges and universities facing substantial budget cuts and increased calls for accountability, more institutions now rely on private revenue streams for support. In this collection of essays, economists, policy makers, sociologists, and researchers discuss the impact of privatization from their respective disciplinary perspectives.
Privatization may bring additional funds and services that are free from government regulations and oversight, but does it allow private interests to have undue influence over public higher education? Should public universities have to compete in the economic marketplace as vigorously as they do in the marketplace of ideas? What are the implications when institutions of higher learning function like businesses? With privatization now a reality for most public colleges and universities, an objective examination of the issue from these diverse academic perspectives will be welcomed by those struggling with its challenges.
