While shared tests and surveys have been developed, most schools refuse to publish the results. Instead, they allow such publications as U.S. News & World Report to define educational quality. In order to raise their status in these rankings, institutions pour money into new facilities and extracurricular activities while underfunding their educational programs. In Why Public Higher Education Should Be Free, Robert Samuels argues that many institutions of higher education squander funds and mislead the public about such things as average class size, faculty-to-student ratios, number of faculty with PhDs, and other indicators of educational quality. Parents and students seem to have little knowledge of how colleges and universities have been restructured over the past thirty years. Samuels shows how research universities have begun to function as giant investment banks or hedge funds that spend money on athletics and administration while increasing tuition costs and actually lowering the quality of undergraduate education. In order to fight higher costs and lower quality, Samuels suggests, universities must reallocate these misused funds and concentrate on their core mission of instruction and related research. Throughout the book, Samuels argues that the future of our economy and democracy rests on our ability to train students to be thoughtful participants in the production and analysis of knowledge. If leading universities serve only to grant credentials and prestige, our society will suffer irrevocable harm. Presenting the problem of how universities make and spend money, Samuels provides solutions to make these important institutions less expensive and more vital. By using current resources in a more effective manner, we could even, he contends, make all public higher education free. 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zUnited States$xFinance 606 $aEducational accountability$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xFinance. 615 0$aEducational accountability 676 $a378.1/06 700 $aSamuels$b Robert$f1961-$0614320 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452814603321 996 $aWhy public higher education should be free$92487000 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02133oam 2200481 a 450 001 9910700586003321 005 20110907151835.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002410133 035 $a(OCoLC)703411076 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002410133 100 $a20110223d2010 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||a|||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aProceedings of the Workshop on State-level Responses to Abandoned and Derelict Vessels, September 15-17, 2009, Miami, FL$b[electronic resource] /$fNeal Parry and Kris McElwee (eds.) 210 1$aSilver Spring, MD :$cU.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service, Office of Response & Restoration, Marine Debris Division,$d[2010] 215 $a1 online resource (115 pages) $ccolor illustrations 225 1 $aNOAA technical memorandum NOS-OR&R ;$v37 300 $aTitle from title screen (viewed on Feb. 23, 2011). 300 $a"October 2010." 606 $aCoastal zone management$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aShips$xAbandoning of$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aDerelicts$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aShipwrecks$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States$xManagement$vCongresses 606 $aSalvage$zUnited States$vCongresses 608 $aConference papers and proceedings.$2lcgft 615 0$aCoastal zone management 615 0$aShips$xAbandoning of$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aDerelicts$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aShipwrecks$xEnvironmental aspects$xManagement 615 0$aSalvage 701 $aParry$b Neal$01421531 701 $aMcElwee$b Kris$01421532 712 02$aUnited States.$bNational Ocean Service.$bOffice of Response and Restoration. 801 0$bOLA 801 1$bOLA 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910700586003321 996 $aProceedings of the Workshop on State-level Responses to Abandoned and Derelict Vessels, September 15-17, 2009, Miami, FL$93543085 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01068nam0 22002771i 450 001 UON00215038 005 20231205103350.383 100 $a20030730d1963 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aˆGli ‰Arabi$fFrancesco Gabrieli 210 $aFirenze$cSansoni$dstampa 1963 215 $a233 p., 8 c. di tav.$cill.$d18 cm. 410 1$1001UON00174984$12001 $aˆLe ‰piccole storie illustrate.
