Editorial: Is the Nation Ready For This Higher Ed Proposal
The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education proposes doubling federal educational expenditures to 7 billion by 1976 and then to 13 billion by 1980. It calls for a Civilian Bill of Educational Rights offering need based aid and low interest grants up to 2500 a year, plus expanded federal aid to medical schools to boost physician numbers. The plan demands thorough review by educators and Congress, given its sweeping and potentially irrevocable changes in higher education funding and responsibility.
