Text of Note

"William F. Massy addresses widespread concerns that higher education's costs are too high, learning falls short of objectives, disruptive technology and education models are mounting serious challenges to traditional institutions, and administrators and faculty are too often unwilling or unable to change. Massy approaches the challenge of reform in a genuinely new way by applying rigorous economic principles, informed by financial data and other evidence, to explain the forces at work on universities and the flaws in the academic business model. He shows how, working together, administrators and faculty can improve education, research, and affordability by keeping a close eye on both academic values and the bottom line."--Provided by publisher.
