TITLE: An Annotated Bibliography of the Access and Choice
Issue in Higher Education.
YEAR PUBLISHED: (1982)
NOTE: 97 p.
ABSTRACT: An annotated bibliography and summaries of major
issues pertaining to access and choice in higher education
are presented. The introductory section discusses barriers
to college attendance, demographic and sector shifts,
diversity and pluralism, willingness and ability to finance
universal higher education. The bibliography is divided
into three sections, each of which includes a narrative
discussion of issues. The first section on factors
affecting access, choice, and their relationships covers
attitudinal, educational, social, geographical, and
financial influences. This first section contains one to
two page annotations/abstracts of nine publications. The
second section on values and judgments discusses the impact
of financial aid on access and choice, the effect of the
level of tuition on public and private enrollment, and the
overall issue of diversity. This section contains
annotations of 15 publications. The third section covers
the debate on low tuition versus high tuition/financial
aid, along with governmental, institutional, student, and
family roles in financing higher education. Annotations of
five publications are provided. The document concludes with
a list of 15 articles, 9 books, and 7 reports. (SW)
