✦ Synopsis

For much of the past century college tuition has risen more rapidly than the inflation rate. Unlike many analyses of higher education, Archibald and Feldman show how broad economic factors have combined to push up cost. These forces are largely out of the control of colleges and universities.;Part I. Introduction -- Part II. Costs -- Part III. Tuition and fees -- Part IV. Policy.
