An Economic Perspective of Academic Tenure
Today, tenure means many different things, including job security, merit reward, career motivator, protection for academic freedom, a multi-million dollar investment in a single professor, and the output of a legislative personnel process to colleges and universities (Whicker et al. 1993; p. 8–21). But increasingly, to the public and politicians, tenure is an unwarranted, unjustified, and unaffordable job perk that borders on a “rip-off” of innoc…
Rejoinder to Keller and Spicer
The article presents the authors' response to a critique of an article that levied several criticisms arguing for stronger links between political science and public administration. In their commentary on our article, Keller and Spicer levied four criticisms arguing for stronger links between political science and public administration. The approaches Keller and Spicer do espouse are not contradictory with viewing government as a system, and, ind…

The Troublesome Cleft
How have we progressed in our 100-year-old debate about the politics/administration dichotomy? Marcia Whicker, Ruth Strickland, and Dorothy Olshfski argue that public management is examined within political science as conversion variable. While political science has not reached consensus about single, discipline-dependent variable, knowledge of the concepts as used-power, justice, equity, conflict, andpolicy-is usefulforpublic managers. At this p…
The Feminization of Leadership in State Legislatures
Throughout the past two decades, the number of women in elected politics has been increasing slowly, but incrementally. Women remain most underrepresented at the national level, with little prospects of parity in the near future (Whicker et al. 1993). By 1992, women held only 30 or 5.6% of the 535 seats in the 102nd Congress, 28 in the House and two in the Senate (CAWP 1992). Much media focus on increased activism and advances caused the 1992 ele…
An Academician's Response
Eminent budget scholar Aaron Wildavsky presented several principles of budgeting in his seminal article three decades ago, which he reaffirmed in 1991. As with the ground-breaking work of others, these principles, once they have been pointed out to us, seem so simple as to be patently obvious. They appear simple because we at once recognize them as capturing a large kernel if not the totality of reality, and, therefore, as true. His principles we…
Political and Socioeconomic Indicators of State Restrictiveness Toward Abortion
We compare the relative impacts of political and socioeconomic factors on state restrictiveness toward abortion during the pre‐Roe, pre‐Webster and post‐Webster time frames. This analysis tests the value of cycle theory, where shifting epochs dominated by liberalism and conservatism enhance the role of political variables in shaping policy formation. It also tests the explanatory value of public opinion theory which holds that bimodal issues whic…
Comparing the Wilder and Gantt Campaigns
Racism has been a part of black American heritage for over three centuries. Across the centuries, the systematic discrimination and oppression of blacks has raised barriers to opportunity as well as normality. Racism can take several forms including individual racism, institutional racism and cultural racism. Individual racism is fostered by individuals who categorize blacks as inferior. Even interracial contact under favorable conditions may not…

Banning abortion
U.S. National Health Policy
This detailed study analyzes the U.S. health care system with special emphasis placed on examining the Federal role in establishing health policy and how the diverse pieces of the system come together
Computer Simulation Modeling
Computer simulation as a research methodology is presented as the intersection of modeling, simulation, and computer analysis. Five component parts of simulation models are identified: input variables, output variables, assumptions, algorithms, and parameters. Computer simulation (CSM) has two primary uses for those interested in the study of organizations or who work within them: theory development and policy planning. The advantages and disadva…
