Correcting Course: How We Can Restore the Ideals of Public Higher
Education in a Market-Driven Era [pdf]
http://www.futuresproject.org/publications/Correcting_Course.pdf

The world of higher education in the United States continues to change
dramatically, and despite the amount of press the subject receives, many
(including quite a few persons in higher education) continue to remain
oblivious to the broader scope of these transformations. This latest 15-page
report from the Futures Project (released in February 2005) provides some
valuable insight into these diverse transformations. Written by Lara
Couturier and Jamie Scurry, the report points to several symptoms of the
coming crisis that will affect public higher education. They include
inadequate financial support for low-income students, rising costs and
unaffordable tuition, and elusive outcomes. This last may be one of the most
compelling aspects, as it reflects the continuing trend that "the higher
education community has not found a satisfactory way to measure, report on,
and improve performance."
