Abstract | In an uncertain environment, it is imperative that leaders of colleges and universities ensure that money spent on higher education--whether that money comes from students, parents, donors, or taxpayers--is being invested wisely. How well do colleges and universities in the Commonwealth of Virginia live up to the public trust? How do they compare to each other? This study reflects a snapshot of those institutions in terms of key measures of quality and cost-effectiveness. It asks how much families are paying to attend these schools, how the schools are spending that money, and what students get in return. And it calls for the trustees who oversee Virginia's institutions to ensure that students and families get the finest education at the lowest possible cost. Appended are: (1) Selection Criteria for Core Courses; and (2) School Evaluation Notes for Core Courses. (Contains 53 endnotes.)
