Summary:

"This volume focuses on federal policy debates that have significant racial and socio-economic implications, linking civil rights reforms to present-day higher education policy issues. Through a mix of history and current events, the chapters highlight how policy has strayed from the Higher Education Act's intended trajectory of promoting and protecting civil rights" -- Adapted from back cover.
