The right to higher education: A political theory

In The Right to Higher Education: A Political Theory, I argue that post-compulsory education should be an individual right in a liberal democratic society. Here, I respond to a series of criticisms of the right's justification. I address objections relating to: the autonomy-based justification of the right and liberal neutrality, the right's scope and limits, the fairness of full public funding for higher education, constraints on the right's equality-promoting aims, and the meaning of the term 'higher education' under the right.
