Editorial Reviews
—from the Foreword by George Keller, author of Academic Strategy: The Management Revolution in American Higher Education
"This book is a marvelous description of a popular, innovative new force for advanced education in the United States..."
—William F. Massy, Stanford University, author of Endowment Perspectives, Policies, and Management
"Higher Ed, Inc. should appeal not just to scholars but to everyone interested in the debate about for-profit higher education."
Very insightful new book, July 28, 2001 - Reviewer: Robert Regner from Chicago, Illinois
Although I've spent more than 20 years in higher education, I found this book to be very valuable -- it provides a balanced and thorough view of the for-profit education industry. The author takes a look at the five major players, talks about the differences and similarities between for-profit and traditional institutions, despels some of the myths about for-profit institutions, and illustrates how the for-profit institutions are serving the needs of today's students and employers. A must read for anyone who wants an in-depth look at higher education today. |
