Specificatii
In The Qualified Student Harold S. Wechsler focuses on methods of
student selection used by institutions of higher education in the
United States. More specifically, he discusses the way that college
and university reformers employed those methods to introduce higher
education into a broader cross-section of America, by extending
access to an increased number of students from nontraditional
backgrounds. Implicit in much of this book is an underlying social
and ethical question: How legitimate was and is higher education's
regulation of social mobility? Public concern over colleges' and
universities' practices became inevitable once they became
regulators between social classes. The challenging of colleges'
admissions policies in the courts augments similar concerns that
have been present in legislatures for decades. The volume is
divided into three main sections: Prerequisites, Columbia and the
Selective Function, and Implications. It focuses mainly on four
universities, The University of Michigan, Columbia University, the
University of Chicago, and the City University of New York.
Wechsler maintains that unlike other universities, these
institutions were pacesetters; they did not adopt a new policy
simply because some other college had already adopted it. A new
introduction brings the book, originally published in 1977, up to
date and demonstrates its continuing importance in today's academic
world of selective admissions.
