Inside Higher Ed:‘Accountability and Opportunity in Higher Education’

A new collection of essays -- Accountability and Opportunity in Higher Education: The Civil Rights Dimension (Harvard Education Press) -- features arguments that try to change the conversation about accountability. The essays suggest that those making policy have paid far too little attention to the impact these approaches are having on minority students and the institutions that serve large numbers of minority and low-income students. Contributors include Stella Flores of New York University, Marybeth Gasman of the University of Pennsylvania, Sara Goldrick-Rab of Temple University, Sylvia Hurtado of the University of California, Los Angeles, and a number of others.
