Reviews
"America's higher education system is, as one contributor to this volume correctly says, a 'mess.' It costs too much, delivers too little, and tends to exacerbate inequality rather than reduce it. The essays collected here go a long way to making clear what's wrong, and what should be done."--Glenn Reynolds, Instapundit and Beauchamp Brogan Distinguished Professor of Law, University of Tennessee College of Law "Unprofitable Schooling exposes the decline in productivity of American higher education and the growing scandal of student debt. For those willing to critically examine our educational challenges, it is must reading. The suggested reforms will be controversial, painful and productive."--Hank Brown, former United States senator (R-CO) and former president, University of Colorado Boulder
