Delaying Displacement
This article uses the unique case of low-income renters who have participated in tenant rights education to understand how an increased understanding of their rights and responsibilities shaped tenant strategies for addressing destabilizing housing conditions. We find that tenants varied in their responses with some demanding repairs or rent reductions and others resigning themselves to their housing situations. This variation was not random: the…
The Benefits and Limitations of Tenant Rights Education
This study demonstrates the value, and limitations, of an educational workshop which aimed to reduce residential displacement by educating low-income tenants about their rights. We show that The Eviction Prevention Workshop had a strong positive effect on participants’ understanding of their rights and awareness of available legal resources and mixed effects on tenants’ self-reported stress. We argue that capacity-building programming should be p…

How Austerity Politics Led to Tuition Charges at the University of California and City University of New York
The size and cost of US public higher education, funded largely by government, grew continuously for nearly twenty-five years after World War II. In the late 1960s, as the nation's economic growth slowed, the question of who should pay for higher education came under fresh political scrutiny. Decades-old no-tuition policies at the University of California and The City University of New York (CUNY) became targets of neoconservative critiques of th…
Racial Context and Political Support for California School Taxes
Objective To determine how racial context influences school districts’ ability to raise taxes and whether it is mitigated by racial context. Method Panel regression models are fit to a data set of 293 parcel tax measures and 967 California school districts from 1997 to 2010, including data on the racial composition of enrolled students, the district population, and the school board, with controls for features of the policy and the social, politic…
Taxation and Citizen Voice in School District Parcel Tax Elections
Local taxation produces consequential resource inequalities among public school districts, but little is known about how policy design affects taxpayers’ willingness to pay for schooling. We show that voters are more likely to approve local school taxes if the policy is written to require citizen–state consultation on how the funds are spent. In a sample of 236 California school district elections, the promise of indirect consultation with a citi…
Resisting the Market University
The devolution of tuition authority, or abdication of tuition-setting control from elected representatives to unelected university governing boards, is an instance of marketization in higher education. Except for New York and Florida, all states have moved closer to a market-priced ideal by “deregulating” tuition. In this article, I describe my analysis of these two negative cases and argue that preexisting higher education policies have lasting …
