Charter Colleges: Evolution of a Plan.
Koplik, Stanley; Berdahl, Robert O.; MacTaggart, Terrence J.; Carlin, James F.
Connection: New England's Journal of Higher Education and Economic Development, v15 n1 p37-40 Sum 2000
Two brief papers examine the "vanguard college" proposal, postsecondary education concept that parallels the charter school movement for K-12 education. Vanguard colleges would agree to exceed state (Massachusetts) performance standards in exchange for greater operational freedom, fiscal autonomy, and faculty benefits. Guidelines focus on how such institutions should balance freedom and accountability. A critical letter is also included. (DB)
