Federal Commission on the Cost of College Says It Isn't So Expensive After All.
Burd, Stephen
Chronicle of Higher Education, v44 n14 pA33-A34 Nov 28 1997
After four months of work, a national panel studying why colleges cost so much has reached the conclusion that American higher education is, for the most part, a bargain. Republicans originally asked the commission to focus on cost containment. The commission's membership is dominated by educators. Panel recommendations emphasize explaining to parents that college is a good value. (MSE)
