Ethics and, in , and for Labor Markets

In this chapter, we explore the consequences of the special nature of labor markets for three specific issues: unemployment, the rise of the gig economy, and the nature and organization of work in a just society. Ea…
Online Higher Education
When two Silicon Valley start-ups, Coursera and Udacity, embarked in 2012 on a bold effort to supply college-level courses for free over the Internet to learners worldwide, the notion of the Massively Open Online Course (MOOC) captured the nation's attention. Although MOOCs are an interesting experiment with a role to play in the future of higher education, they are a surprisingly small part of the online higher education scene. We believe that o…
Crossing the Finish Line
The United States has long been a model for accessible, affordable education, as exemplified by the country's public universities. And yet less than 60 percent of the students entering American universities today are graduating. Why is this happening, and what can be done? Crossing the Finish Line provides the most detailed exploration ever of college completion at America's public universities. This groundbreaking book sheds light on such seriou…
The Philosophical Foundations of Mainstream Normative Economics
Michael S. McPherson (1947–) received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and taught for many years at Williams College before becoming President of Macalester College and then of the Spencer Foundation. His academic work concerns the economics of higher education and issues at the boundaries of economics and ethics. He and Daniel Hausman founded the journal Economics and Philosophy in 1985 and edited it for its first ten years. They also co…

The issue of tenure is discussed in terms of how the authority necessary to run a college or university is delegated. The authors believe that this perspective sheds light on some underlying reasons …

Behind this complex of tasks and judgments lie competing conceptions of the values that do or ought to shape our society, and about higher education's role in furthering their achievement. The values and the conflicts among them are often articulated …

High School Type, Sex, and Socio-Economic Factors as Predictors of the Academ Ic Achievement of University Students
Grade point average was predicted for a sample of 152 students in Principles of Economics classes at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle. It was shown that knowledge of high school type, sex, number of credit hours taken, and perhaps dollar value of scholarships and number of hours of outside work could significantly increase the ability to predict grades beyond that accomplished through using rank in high school class and American Colle…

The Crisis in Higher Education
Applying Methods and Techniques of Futures Research
Much our planning to date in higher education has focused on questions internal effectiveness and efficiency, but, given the period rapid social change we have entered, it is imperative that we improve our abilities to assess changes in the external environment and examine their implications for higher education.
