The author lays out a series of initiatives that, working in tandem, can promote the larger goal of compelling colleges to spend money wisely. Among the individual reforms, the report suggests the creation of a national database of cost-containment practices, a “Race to the Top” for college productivity, and process audits for all public institutions.
