Choice, Information Inequity, and the Production, Legitimation, and Reduction of Educational Inequality
Background: Choice is a key part of the culture of the United States. Americans believe deeply in the personal and social usefulness of being able to make many choices. Hence, all sorts of efforts have been made to increase students’ options, whether by creating many different kinds of schools and colleges, offering a great array of majors and degree programs, or allowing multiple modes of attending higher education. However, this proliferation o…
Student Choice in Higher Education-Reducing or Reproducing Social Inequalities
A hallmark of recent higher education policy in developed economies is the move towards quasi-markets involving greater student choice and provider competition, underpinned by cost-sharing policies. This paper examines the idealizations and illusions of student choice and marketization in higher education policy in England, although the overall conclusions have relevance for other countries whose higher education systems are shaped by neoliberal …
Looking Inside the Black Box of Performance Funding for Higher Education
Kevin J. Dougherty, Sosanya M. Jones, Hana Lahr, Rebecca S. Natow, Lara Pheatt, Vikash Reddy, Looking Inside the Black Box of Performance Funding for Higher Education: Policy Instruments, Organizational Obstacles, and Intended and Unintended Impacts, RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences, Vol. 2, No. 1, Higher Education Effectiveness (April 2016), pp. 147-173
Performance Funding for Higher Education
Since the 1970s, federal and state policy-makers have become increasingly concerned with improving higher education performance. In this quest, state performance funding for higher education has become widely used. As of June 2014, twenty-six states were operating performance funding programs and four more have programs awaiting implementation. This article reviews the forms, extent, origins, implementation, impacts (intended and unintended), and…
Opportunity-to-Learn Standards
Les standards OTL (opportunity-to-learn), ou standards des « chances d'apprendre » aux Etats-Unis ont pour objectif louable d'obliger les ecoles a prendre en compte la facon dont elles favorisent la reussite scolaire. Malheureusement, selon l'A., les standards actuels ignorent de nombreux facteurs de reussite scolaire mis en evidence par la recherche sociologique. Ces facteurs peuvent etre intra-scolaires, tels que la segregation raciale ou socia…

Analyzing the Development of Education in America
Social scientists have long been interested in the development of education. Mustafa Emirbayer and Clyde Barrow, whose essays appear in this volume, have many illustrious predecessors including political scientists Ira Katznelson and Margaret Weir; economists Max Weber, Albert Fishlow, Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis, and Martin Carnoy and Henry Levin; and sociologists Emile Durkheim, John Meyer, Martin Trow, Randall Collins, Joseph Ben David, J…

Educational policy-making and the relative autonomy of the state
The Politics of Community College Expansion
Community colleges are a crucial segment of higher education, enrolling over a third of all college students. Yet great controversy exists over the forces propelling their rise. This article tests the two dominant explanations of community college expansion--the functionalist and class-reproduction explanations--against the experiences of four states where community colleges have proliferated (California, Illinois, New York, and Washington State)…
The Effects of Community Colleges
The community college is both important and controversial. It now enrolls 36 percent of all students in college. But there is much debate over whether it aids or hinders its students' socioeconomic attainment. This paper aims to measure the community college's effects and to explain how those effects are produced. In the first section, I critically synthesize research comparing the effects of community colleges and the effects of other postsecond…
