Reviewed by Paul Marthers College and university financial assistance in the United States has existed, in one form or another, since the founding of the first institutions of higher learning. At its core, financial help to students, whether it has been in the form of scholarships, loans, and work, has been about access. How and to whom that access has been provided has a complex and multilayered history bound up in notions of merit, obligation, and social justice, involving collisions between mission and market. Yet even in enrollment management circles, that history is elusive and fuzzy, especially the era before entities such as the College Scholarship Service and practices such as need-blind admission. Rupert Wilkinson's Aiding Students, Buying Students: Financial Aid in America fills a knowledge gap, explaining, summarizing, and examining the peculiarly American institution that has come to be known as financial aid. Wilkinson, an emeritus professor of American studies and history at England's University of Sussex, has crafted a book that will interest students of higher education policy, students seeking to understand the history of American colleges and universities, and anyone focused more generally on the history of u.s. institutions. Wilkinson's book should be required reading for admission and financial aid officers, college presidents, lawmakers, and boards of trustees. It is the result of fourteen years of research, including discussions with 475 officials at 133 colleges. Just the illuminating footnotes, extensive bibliography, and detailed glossary of terms could form the basis of a course in American financial aid. For those who choose merely to skim the book or use it simply as a reference, the final chapter, \"Reforming the System,\" is a wordfor-word must read. Here Wilkinson proposes policies and reiterates the complex issues shaping how college officials grapple with questions of access and bottom line pressures. Wilkinson's book is one I read with personal interest, because I am a product of post-World War II spending on higher education, a beneficiary of what was perhaps the apex of the need-based era of financial aid-I entered college in the late 19705. Without financial aid from the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, the federal government, and the colleges I attended, I would not have completed a bachelor's degree and I would not now be a dean of admissions at an elite private college. Like others in and out of higher education, I have had little more than a vague suspicion that the financial aid policies since the 19505 have not always been standard operating procedure at America's colleges and universities. Aiding Students, Buying Students dispels the numerous myths that inhabit the territory in higher education occupied by financial aid. Chief among those myths is the belief that merit scholarsh","PeriodicalId":75260,"journal":{"name":"Tribal college and university research journal","volume":"4 1","pages":"87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84722879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Altbach","doi":"10.1163/9789087901035_005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1163/9789087901035_005","url":null,"abstract":"An array of institutions, agencies, corporations, and other businesses are calling themselves universities these days. It is time to call a halt to this trend, which is debasing the nomenclature of knowledge and scholarship. Just as important, these institutions are in many cases providing \"degrees\" to people who have not studied in a university and who have not earned the academic titles. I refer here to a wide variety of organizations, including: * University of Phoenix-This is now America's largest private \"university\" and is accredited to offer academic degrees; * Jones International University-Also accredited, it is the first U.S.-based Internet-only \"university\"; * Cardean University-Part of U-Next, a company with links to Stanford, Columbia and other major universities, it \"packages\" courses for Internet delivery and offers degrees in several professional fields; and * Motorola University-Owned by a major corporation, this \"university\" offers training to employees as well as outsiders. These examples are all in the for-proflt sector, as are most of the new pseudouniversities, but the issue of for-profit versus nonprofit status is not the critical factor here.These new pscudouniversities are not universities. They may offer valuable training in fields that appeal to eager customers. They may provide this training in \"classes\" taught by teachers in a \"site based\" traditional format, offer instruction through the Internet or other new distance arrangements, or perhaps use a combination of modes of delivery. They may employ well-qualified instructors, although seldom on a full-time basis. But they do not fit the definition of a university and should not bear this title. The time has come to scrutinize the role of this new phenomenon in the universe of postsccondary education. The issue here is not the value or usefulness of the new providers of training but rather protecting one of society's most valuable institutions-the university. What is a University? Denning a university is not an easy task, especially in this era of differentiation in higher education, with new and diverse institutions emerging everywhere. However, we can probably agree on a set of common functions and values. Universities, from their medieval beginnings, have seen themselves as independent places of teaching and analysis, encompassing most of the disciplines known at the time. Universities are normally expected to offer undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees in a variety of disciplines and fields, and have been imbued with a sense of responsibility for the public good, be it preserving books in libraries, sponsoring art museums, or service to local communities. For almost two centuries, research, especially basic research, has been a key function of a university. Often times professors-with long-term or permanent appointments-have been at the heart of the university, exercising control over the curriculum, the admission of students, and the awarding of degree","PeriodicalId":75260,"journal":{"name":"Tribal college and university research journal","volume":"48 1","pages":"23-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79065964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
