In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower
Exploring Public Perceptions of Nonprofit Policy Advocacy
Research on nonprofit advocacy has grown in recent years, and many nonprofit organizations have expanded and refined their efforts to influence public policies in ways they believe will benefit society. Despite the growing body of literature on nonprofit advocacy, there is substantial room for development on questions related to public perceptions of nonprofit advocacy activities. Utilizing an experimental design, we examine the ways in which the…
Intersectionality and equity
Representative bureaucracy scholarship has yet to address two interrelated phenomena: intersectionality and changes in relative disadvantage over time. This manuscript addresses these gaps by assessing representation effects at the intersection of race/ethnicity and sex and in previously, but no longer, disadvantaged client groups. It also argues that if bureaucratic representation is viewed as a quest for equity, then representation will decline…
Evaluating the Impact of Performance Funding in Ohio and Tennessee
Today, 35 states use performance-based funding models tying appropriations directly to educational outcomes. Financial incentives should induce colleges to improve performance, but there are several well-documented reasons why this is unlikely to occur. We examine how two of the most robust performance funding states—Tennessee and Ohio—responded to the policy. Using a difference-in-differences design, findings point to null and negative effects w…
Information versus ideology
Native American policy is a complex and often poorly understood issue area. Native Americans enjoy a set of rights unique from any other population in the country as established in hundreds of treaties and a right to self-governance that predates the U.S. Constitution. Some scholars believe that American citizens would be more supportive of these policies if they had more information on the rights of tribes. This paper explores the impact of info…
Policy Climates, Enforcement Rates, and Migrant Behavior
U.S. immigration policy has been the subject of considerable debate in recent years. Previous research has focused on how temporal variation in federal policy has altered the migratory behavior of immigrants. The effect of spatial variation in enforcement remains untested. Relying on the criminological distinction between general and specific deterrence, we argue that high rates of enforcement are unlikely to encourage undocumented immigrants to …
Competing Explanations for Minority Enrollments in Higher Education
Although diversity has been considered a vital component in higher education over the past several decades, little research—theoretical or empirical—has rigorously examined the determinants of minority enrollments in higher education. By drawing on literature across several fields, this article helps close this gap by testing competing theoretical explanations for minority enrollments in American public colleges and universities. We examine Afric…
