Institutional Effects of Adding Football
Contingent Faculty Employment and Financial Stress in Public Universities
Numerous observers and critics of higher education, including some policymakers, have suggested that hiring and maintaining faculty on tenure lines is a primary source of inefficiency in colleges and universities. These “disrupters” argue that reducing commitments to tenure will lead to cost savings and more effective adaptations to changing markets for various degrees. Does increasing hiring of “contingent” (non-tenure-line) faculty indeed bring…
A Boost for the Middle Class
In response to goals of expanding access as well as public pressure to leverage substantial endowment resources toward increasing affordability, numerous elite colleges have enacted policies aimed at improving access and affordability by replacing student loans with grants in financial aid packages. No-loan policies, however, differ in the extent to which they expand affordability: Some policies offer a universal discount by replacing loans with …
Commitment to the Core
As many national commissions and observers have noted, the past forty years have brought unprecedented declines in humanities enrollments and programs in U.S. higher education. These changes are particularly striking in the iconic academic heart of the enterprise, the four-year college sector, where many institutions have diversified curricular offerings well beyond their historic roots in the liberal arts. Colleges have significantly varied, how…
Leveraging university research to serve economic development
As economic competition becomes more global and knowledge-based, US states have independently pursued initiatives in research and development (R&D) and science and technology (S&T). Policy efforts often entwine government, universities, and industry, aiming to stimulate socially optimal levels of innovation and economic growth. Partnerships in this arena are well documented, but few studies foreground first-person accounts of policy dynamics. Thr…
State-Funded “Eminent Scholars” Programs
Over the past two decades, state governments have increasingly invested in programs to recruit accomplished scientists from elsewhere to university positions. This event history analysis suggests that an intriguing mix of comparative state disadvantage and leveragable existing research resources is associated with the likelihood of states adopting such programs

Called to Account
Employing a theoretical framework derived from the policy innovation and diffusion literature, this research examines how variations over time and across state sociopolitical systems influence states’ adoption of accountability policies in higher education. Specifically, factors influencing the adoption of three kinds of performance-accountability policies for public higher education in the period 1979–2002 were investigated. Findings from the ev…

Influences of State-Level Policies and Practices on College Students' Learning
Increasingly, state governments are implementing policies and practices that either directly or indirectly focus on college students' learning outcomes. This article examines the emerging context for these policies and practices, then explores various state efforts that potentially influence undergraduate outcomes. Among the policies and practices considered are several relating to funding, including standardized state-funding formulas, incentive…

Efficiency and Equity Effects of Vocationally Focused Postsecondary Education
Two rationales have been used to support governmental funding of postsecondary vocational education: an efficiency rationale and an equity rationale. Research on the effects of this public investment, and thus on the defensibility of these rationales, has often been hampered by inadequate data and other limitations. The analysis presented in this article used the nationally representative High School and Beyond data set to investigate the distinc…

Academic and Nonacademic Influences on the College Destinations of 1980 High School Graduates
Social scientists and policymakers have long been interested in equality of opportunity to pursue postsecondary education. This research focused on one aspect of that issue, the relationships between high school graduates' personal characteristics (ability, achievements, expectations, socioeconomic status, raceethnicity, and gender) and the nature of the postsecondary institutions they attend. Based on national data for college attenders from the…

Scanning the University's External Environment
Organization theory has been radically reshaped in the past two decades by the notion of the organization as an system. As Scott has stressed, are not closed systems, sealed off from their environments, but are open to and dependent on flows of personnel and resources from outside their own system [43, p. 22]. This point has been echoed by Perrow [36], Thompson [46], Pfeffer and Salancik [38], and numerous others. As an system, each organization …

The Relative Roles of Academic, Ascribed, and Socioeconomic Characteristics in College Destinations
A multiple regression analysis using a large, natianally representative sample of college freshmen of 1975 suggests that educationally relevant factors have greater power in explaining the nature of college destinations than ascriptive or socioeconomic backgroundfactors, but the latter still play a significant role, net of educationalfactors. Specifically, it appears that both the academically and socioeconomically rich become richer (i.e., atten…
The Role of College Major Departments in the Reproduction of Sexual Inequality
We propose that, in their choices and evaluations of major departments, all students react positively to supportive internal organizationalfeatures and to rewarding links to the external socio-economic system. We also propose, however, that men and women attach differing weights to internal and external features in selecting and reacting to major departments, and that, organizationally, favorable internal characteristics will rarely be coincident…

Subject Matter and Classroom Climate
High school classes were assigned to five types using the Holland typology, and the climates were assessed using the Classroom Environment Scale. Results for the most part supported the descriptive propositions of Holland’s classification. For example, Investigative classes such as mathematics and science tended to emphasize task orientation and teacher control but to de-emphasize involvement, affiliation, and innovation. However there were some …
