Summary: During the years since World War Il, higher education in the United States has experienced extraordinary growth. It is now serving nearly 7 million more students than were enrolled in the early postwar years, and many of these are low-income and minority-group students for whom financial and other barriers to entry into higher education have been substantially lowered. Although we still have a long way to go before we achieve complete equality of opportunity in higher education, the progress made in the last decade has been impressive.
