When For-Profit Meets Nonprofit: Educating Through the Market / Edition 1

by Jared Bleak

Overview

This study addresses the increasing tumult over the commercialization of higher education. While many issues in higher education encompass the mission and values of the university, the operation of for-profit subsidiaries by nonprofit universities provides the potential for an especially contentious clash. By answering the questions of why for-profit subsidiaries of nonprofit universities were created, how they are governed and managed, and what the nature of the relationship with their nonprofit parent is, this book contributes to a better understanding of the larger controversy.
