-
Two position papers for the Alden Seminar on Higher Education and an overview of the January 1982 Alden Seminar meeting are presented. The Alden Seminars, which are attended by officers of business and industry and colleges and universities in Massachusetts, provide a forum for the discussion of the current situation in higher education, with particular reference to Massachusetts. Seminar topics included: quality in higher education; access to higher education for nontraditional students, particularly Blacks and Hispanics; and information needs on Massachusetts higher education conditions. In "All But a Privileged Few: The Emerging Financial Aid Crisis," John J. Maguire considers problems in enrollments, quality, and the availability of student financial aid. He cites the case of Boston College and discusses a pricing and financial aid strategy and the role of the State of Massachusetts. In "Equality and the Finance of Higher Education: A 'Possibilist' Perspective," Michael S. McPherson examines the idea of promoting social equity through the finance of higher education. Attention is also directed to sources of discontent with the welfare state, specifically the pursuit of equity through governmental action and its implications for higher education. (SW)
