Description
Administrators, trustees, and legislators are experimenting with increased autonomy and less state regulation at public institutions. Seeking Excellence Through Independence examines the arguments for and against freeing up public colleges and universities not from an ideological viewpoint, but in terms of what works and what doesn't. Terrence MacTaggart contends that by instituting a free-market approach, state officials and higher education administrators can help revitalize public colleges and universities, strengthen quality, and assure broad access. This thorough and thoughtful examination of public institution deregulation offers an invaluable behind-the-scenes look at the experiences and results of deregulation already taking place at some institutions. The contributors - a well-known group of practitioners and scholars - offer their unique insights, recommendations, and suggestions for successfully pursuing deregulation.
