From the Back Cover
Earnings from Learning examines the historical and contemporary factors that have fueled the rise of postsecondary for-profit, degree-granting institutions as a dynamic and powerful force in education. The contributors focus on such institutions as the University of Phoenix, DeVry, and Strayer to present theoretically grounded and data-driven research from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. They document unprecedented shifts in the postsecondary political economy and landscape and evaluate the implications for nonprofit institutions, including understanding the public and private benefits of higher education, postsecondary access and success, institutional resource allocation, competition, governance, and technology.
"This book provides analytical studies on a subject that is relatively new and not well understood. I like that the book has a point of view rather than being inert on what is a controversial subject." -- Henry M. Levin, coauthor of Privatizing Educational Choice: Consequences for Parents, Schools, and Public Policy
Contributors include David W. Breneman, Dudley J. Doane, Saul Fisher, Andreas Ortmann, Brian Pusser, Sarah E. Turner, and David A. Wolcott.
