Ris (review)","authors":"","doi":"10.1353/rhe.2023.a907273","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/rhe.2023.a907273","url":null,"abstract":"Reviewed by: Other People's Colleges: The Origins of American Higher Education Reform by Ethan W.

ISBN 9780226820224. While commonly regarded as a path for social advancement, it is well-known that higher education is a stratified system (Taylor & Cantwell, 2019). In Other People's Colleges: The Origins of American Higher Education Reform, Ethan Ris illustrates an underappreciated yet essential originator of postsecondary stratification—the philanthropic foundation. From the outset, Ris explains his goals are to look behind the curtain at the people, organizations, and movements seeking to reform higher education between 1890 and 1936. This period represents the earliest years in which philanthropic foundations leveraged financial resources to form higher education into a stratified system of vertically integrated institutions serving specific populations of students while systematically excluding or diverting others. These efforts and the pioneering opposition to these efforts comprise the book's scope. Ris argues that these higher education reform efforts and the efforts to oppose shaped higher education as it exists today. The book spans three phases of reform: ideas (1890–1905), efforts (1905–1915), and resistance (1915–1936). When most people think of the Progressive Era in the early 20th century United States, they likely think of muckraking journalism and individuals such as Jane Addams, W. E. B. DuBois, and Theodore Roosevelt (despite his more problematic beliefs) advocating for grassroots change. Progressivism also coincided with the scientific management movement, social Darwinism, and the prevailing belief that with sufficient expertise, all problems could be solved. Having amassed their fortunes by relying upon the labor of others, Gilded Age captains of industry John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie believed adherence to principles of scientific management and engineering could improve society at large. The first two major philanthropic organizations were Andrew Carnegie's Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (CFAT) and John D. Rockefeller's General Education Board (GEB). Ris presents the origin stories of these foundations, which were formed in large part to reshape the system of American higher education at the system rather than at the institution or individual level. The foundations were animated by the people who ran them and Ris characterizes these people as academic engineers. Ris carefully explains how the academic engineers developed their perspectives and inflicted them on higher education. This creates a rather dramatic storytelling landscape throughout the early sections of the book and Ris draws from a mass of personal papers and correspondence, historical essays and scholarship, journalism, and organizational documentation ","PeriodicalId":47732,"journal":{"name":"Review of Higher Education","volume":"2012 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135428462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ISBN: 9781421445007 How can scholars and pundits understand the complex issue of higher education finance in the twenty-first century? A good start would be to read Bruce Kimball and Sarah Iler's insightful new study, Wealth, Cost, and Price in American Higher Education: A Brief History. This is a timely, well-researched monograph that reveals the benefits of literally \"following the money\" when trying to account for the economic behavior of the modern American research university. Part I—\"The Formative Era, 1870-1920\" (Chapters 1–6)—retraces the rise of the modern American research university and the changes in the political economy that funded it. Kimball and Iler begin their narrative at a time in which a key concept in university finance—endowment—began to take on its contemporary meaning. Although endowments had been a perennial fixture of elite colleges since their establishment during the early Republic, their meaning shifted during the last decades of the nineteenth century. Before the 1870s, \"endowment\" referred to the sum total of the institution's holdings—its permanent funds, yes, but also its buildings, faculty, and other educational accoutrements. Following the massive industrial expansion that enabled wealthy donors to make gifts at unprecedented levels, \"endowment\" increasingly referred to the \"permanent, productive funds\" held by the university. According to the authors, the Darwinian logic of 'survival of the fittest' motivated the redefinition of endowment whereby universities with larger productive, permanent funds were considered more 'fit'—autonomous, flexible, and higher status—than their poorer, unfit peers. President Charles Eliot of Harvard embraced and popularized this approach to higher education finance, and it helped catapult Harvard from a traditional college to one of the fittest research universities in the country. Here the authors demonstrate the key link between endowment and knowledge production and the rise of the modern research university that emerged in the decades around the turn of the twentieth century. The 'formative era' also witnessed two other key changes. First, by running a deficit, college presidents and administrators began deliberately cultivating a public perception that their universities required endless funding. According to Kimball and Iler, this strategy created the impression among donors that the university was ceaselessly expanding, and that generous donations played a key role in this growth. Second, new modes of fundraising emerged to coax wealthy donors to give. One such method was \"the appeal to all alumni for do","PeriodicalId":47732,"journal":{"name":"Review of Higher Education","volume":"668 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135428458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although virtually all students developed toward self-authorship, steady development each year was relatively rare, and occurrences of both stasis and regression were quite common, suggesting that development is more variable than consistent or linear.

Using Adler and Kwon's (2002) bridging versus bonding forms of capital, we argue participants turned to their internal, primarily women-comprised networks (bonding) to navigate academics and parenting after the pandemic eroded opportunities for bridging capital. We highlight the ways that student-mothers' primarily women-comprised networks stepped in to provide important support to facilitate participants' persistence when higher education institutions were unable to do so. This study challenges dominant notions of social capital and brings to light its often-hidden gendered nature to underscore how a strong internal support network can lead to individual and, ultimately, societal benefits. The results of this study have implications far beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, challenging educators to think critically about how to harness the support networks of minoritized and marginalized students to facilitate student success.","PeriodicalId":47732,"journal":{"name":"Review of Higher Education","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135428612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
