The State of Education by Eugene Golf Goll
Frank Morris of Salisbury outlines a shift in U.S. priorities toward defense spending at a June board meeting. He notes Reagan’s proposed defense increase and urges community colleges to train workers for defense industries while education funding shifts from social programs to military effort. He contrasts 1960s access aims with 1970s occupational focus and questions whether expanded military spending improves society or costs essential services. Gene Goll, known for his State of Education volume, writes on history and economics.
