Alternative funding resources for higher education

Article Abstract:

Various ways that higher education, particularly on the university level, can be funded are examined. Three key questions are studied: should higher education be subsidized, should higher education be centrally planned and how should student loans be designed. The need for a coherent strategy of higher education funding and the need for funding not to rely solely on one source are defended. Greater utilization of private-sector funds to help finance higher education is proposed.
