The price of admission

"Over the past fifteen years, a college education has become an increasingly important determinant of success in the U.S. labor market. With the gap in college enrollment widening by family income, the time has come to examine the strengths and weaknesses of the American system for financing higher education and to rethink its structure from the ground up." "Kane promotes a package of reforms intended to squeeze more social bang from the many public bucks devoted to higher education."--BOOK JACKET.
