Great Expectations: How New Yorkers View Higher Education

Great Expectations: How New Yorkers View Higher Education is part of a broader effort of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education and Public Agenda to stimulate a public discussion about the role of colleges and universities in maintaining and enhancing the opportunities for all Americans to participate fully in our society. This report is based on two surveys on public attitudes about higher education conducted by Public Agenda earlier this year: one looking at national attitudes and another illuminating the views of residents of the State of New York.
