Liberals supported public investment because it encouraged social equity, conservatives because it promoted economic development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecently, however, the politics of higher education have become more contentious. Conservatives advocate deep cuts in public financing; liberals want to expand enrollment and increase diversity. Some public universities have embraced privatization, while federal aid for students increasingly emphasizes middle-class affordability over universal access.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePublic Funding of Higher Education, \u003c\/i\u003e scholars and practitioners address the complexities of this new climate and its impact on policy and political advocacy at the federal, state, and institutional levels. Rethinking traditional rationales for public financing, contributors to this volume offer alternatives for policymakers, administrators, faculty, students, and researchers struggling with this difficult practical dynamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e M.
