College, Inc. is a book written by Kevin Carey and published in 2020. The book is a critique of the American higher education system, arguing that it has become too expensive, too bureaucratic, and too focused on serving the interests of the wealthy and powerful. Carey argues that colleges and universities have become more like corporations, with administrators and faculty members increasingly focused on maximizing revenue and prestige rather than providing a quality education to students. He also argues that the rising cost of college is making it increasingly difficult for students from low-income families to attend college, and that the system is rigged in favor of those who can afford to pay full price.
