Public Policy and Higher Education

What is the relationship between the campus and the Capitol and how can the two work together for the benefit of all? State and federal policymakers, staff members, faculty, and campus administrators alike ask these important questions on a daily basis. Each of the many stakeholders affected by postsecondary public policy has a unique story to tell, one that adds to the rich and complex understandings of how public policy is made. This reader provides one of the few comprehensive works on public policy and higher education. Since the first edition was published, the scholarship and resulting literature base has grown substantially, and this second edition represents the benefits of the greatly expanded literature base.
