Abstract | Many states, and the United States as a whole, are doing a better job than they were two years ago of preparing students for college and expanding access to higher education, according to a national report card on higher education released last week. But the country continues to slip behind other nations on measures of enrollment and degree completion, particularly among young adults, the report found. On the subject of college affordability, it gave failing grades to all but one state, California. The fifth biennial report, issued by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, paints a bleak picture on a number of fronts and declares that the United States' performance in many of the higher-education areas the center assesses (preparation, participation, affordability, degree completion, benefits to states, and learning) is inadequate.
