The debate about how higher education is failing to play a role in reducing inequality centers on elite colleges while ignoring the numerous public colleges and universities that educate the majority of our students. This book adds to the discussion by exploring an in-depth case study of the largest public higher educational system in the United States, The California State University. Experienced faculty member and author Benjamin Bowser discusses higher education reforms in response to increasing tuition, underprepared graduates, and declining academic standards and examines how these reforms threaten the mission of a public institution, only exacerbating the crisis of higher education and inequality.
