Social scientists, policy analysts, researchers, and for-profit sector leaders discuss how and to what ends for-profit colleges are a functional social good. The chapters include discussions of inequality, stratification, and legitimacy, differing greatly from other work on for-profit colleges in three ways: First, this volume moves beyond rational choice explanations of for-profit expansion to include critical theoretical work. Second, it deals with the nuances of race, class, and gender in ways absent from other research. Finally, the book‘s interdisciplinary focus is uniquely equipped to deal with the complexity of high-cost, low-status, for-profit credentialism at a scale never before seen. | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | students; private sector college; shareholder organization; institutional sector; social stratification | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-47187-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-83673-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-47187-7 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 |
