Resumen
The American system of higher education exhibit many signs of success: comprehensiveness in the dimension of teaching, amazing results in the research. At the same time, displays numerous paradoxes and worrying trends. Trying to contextualize them, the article starts in a exploratory and descriptive approach, examining the "four floors" of the system. Next, we indicate the ways of its massification, after World War II. In the endings of the century, the American society is surrounded by a combination of economic decline and widened inequality. These vectors help to understand the contradictions of the growth of higher learning and the paradoxes of American education, in a broadest sense. Apparently, increasing coverage seems to live with declining inclusion and signs of strangling. 34 122 25 45 Bird, C., (1975) The Case Against College, , New York: Bantam Bluestone, B., Harrison, B., (1982) The Deindustrialization of America, , New York: Basic Bluestone, B., Harrison, B., (1990) The Great U-Turn: Corporate Restructuring and The Polarizing of America, , New York: Basic Bluestone, B., Harrison, B., (2001) Prosperidad: Por Un Crecimiento Con Equidad En El Siglo XXI, , Mexico: Fondo de Cultura Brint, S., (2002) The Future of the City of Intellect: The Changing American University, , (Ed.), Stanford: Stanford University Brint, S., Karabel, J., (1989) The Diverted Dream: Community Colleges and The Promise of Educational Opportunity In America, 1900-1985, , New York: Oxford University Brubacher, J.S., Rudy, W., (1958) Higher Education In Transition: An American History: 1636-1956, , New York: Harper Clark, B., (1995) Places of Inquiry: Research and Advanced Education In Modern Universities, , Berkeley: University of California Cohen, A.M., (1998) The Shaping of American Higher Education: Emergence and Growth of the Contemporary System, , San Francisco: Jossey-Bass Cohen, A.M., Brawer, F.B., (1996) The American Community College. 3.
