Terry W. Hartle, senior vice president for government and public affairs at the American Council on Education ... said that colleges have done a poor job in educating the public about the critical role colleges have played in enhancing "America's economic competitiveness and social well-being."
That failure has been costly, he said. Over the last two decades, state spending on higher education on a per-student basis has dropped significantly. Meanwhile, federal support for student aid is flagging, and policy makers are increasingly questioning the quality of education that colleges are providing.
