Riptide: The New Normal for Higher Education

This book reveals and examines the factors contributing to higher education's "fall from grace" in the United States. Drawing on their varied backgrounds in industry, academia and politics, authors Angel and Connelly establish a powerful fact base, sound the alarm for real reform, then lay out a coherent plan to help U.S. higher education regain its preeminence, enabling it to serve all of its constituents in a sustainable cost-effective way.
