Review
"To many high schoolers, the consideration of which college they will attend turns on any number of factors: the likelihood of admissibility, vague perceptions of quality, the accidental flow of information that might or might not be accurate or salient, distance from home, what their classmates might think of the choice, and an overall assessment of fit within the institution. To Ronald G. Ehrenberg and his colleagues, another dimension applicants should consider is the "public-ness" of the college, as these alarming findings suggest that public institutions "appear to be in serious trouble." Inasmuch as he is one of the premier analysts of the higher education enterprise, all serious policymakers should heed the various warnings in this book. Some of these trends are downright ominous, and legislators and educators ignore them at their peril." - Michael A. Olivas William B.
