Retrenchment in U.S. Higher Education: Some Reflections on the Resilience of the U.S. and U.K. University Systems.

Shattock, M. L.

Education Policy Bulletin, v7 n2 p149-68 Fall 1979

The evidence relating to the decline in higher education in the United States is summarized, and comparison is made between the U.S. system and that of the United Kindgom, especially in relation to the resilience of the two systems. It is concluded the U.K. system may be less resilient in a period of severe fiscal restraint and declining enrollments. (Author/PHR)
