Higher Education: America’s Vital Investment

By: Jeffery Olson

It’s enormously productive and beneficial. And it pays for itself. University leaders should stop being so defensive.

From Volume 26 Number 2 | Winter 1997–1998

Abstract: Asserts that campus officials have spent too much time apologizing for higher education’s costs, when instead they should be marshalling evidence to demonstrate the very real returns investment in higher education has for society and for individuals. Reviews recent research on higher education and productivity and stresses the contribution colleges and universities have made to the development of physical capital and an educated workforce. Higher education is expensive, and in many cases its benefits are not immediate; yet the author contends that ultimately, institutions of higher education pay for themselves.

Identifying Quality in American Colleges and Universities

By: Edward Fiske,Bruce Hammond

How can planners help increase the quality of their institutions? And what are the main ingredients of a high-quality undergraduate education?

From Volume 26 Number 1 | Fall 1997

Abstract: Asserts that institutional rankings based on quantitative measures are largely meaningless; comparative, qualititative measures are the only useful measure of an institution’s strengths and weaknesses relative to its peer institutions. Advocates providing more honest and thorough information to students struggling to determine which institution is the best "fit," and suggests three foci for campus planners and policymakers: student body composition; interaction between students, faculty, and administrators; and the physical plant.
