Abstract
As higher education has expanded and become far more important economically, there has been increasing scrutiny of the effect of college policies on full access and equal treatment for women, minorities, and students from lower-income families. Colleges and federal and state officials have been raising costs rapidly while substantially reducing the adequacy of scholarship assistance, and those policies have limited access. Decisions about the structure of public higher-education systems, particularly their reliance on community colleges to provide wide access, appear to have far-reaching social effects. This article calls for a stronger research agenda explicitly focusing on social effects of policies and considering a broader array of educational approaches.
