In these times of increasing concern about homeland security, global competitiveness, and national economic growth, investing in what we know works best—supporting students who otherwise wouldn’t be able to go to college—is the best way to achieve the goals of prosperity, security, and harmony for all Americans.

Learning Accountability from Bologna: A Higher Education Policy Primer

The report, Learning Accountability from Bologna: a Higher Education Policy Primer, examines the reconstruction of those 46 European higher education systems—known as the “Bologna Process”—in terms of addressing challenges that lie at the core of current debates in the United States about documenting student learning. Written by higher education researcher Clifford Adelman, the study explores the core features of change in Europe that have been created jointly by higher education administrators, faculty, students, and national ministries of education.
