Description: "The expense of pursuing a college degree has become so high, that the country is experiencing what many educators, economists, parents, and students describe as a college affordability crisis. This work provides an account of the factors driving this trend, including reductions in higher education spending by states; for-profit colleges; predatory, unscrupulous, and lightly regulated student loan service companies; and spiraling spending by colleges and universities competing to attract students."--
