Abstract:
An unflinching, no-holds-barred exploration of what citizens really think about their public universities, What's Public about Public Higher Ed? places special emphasis on the events of 2020--including the COVID-19 pandemic and the worst racial unrest seen in half a century--as major inflection points for understanding the implications of the survey's findings.
