Accountability and Private-Public Comparisons. Review Essay.
Levy, Daniel C.
Educational Policy, v5 n2 p193-99 Jun 1991
Whereas private institutions are chiefly accountable to the narrow, limited constituencies supporting them, public institutions are typically accountable to more general constituencies that are diverse, broad, and conflicted. This essay reviews two recent books by British authors that discuss the two "ideal" accountability models and places both volumes within the context of other research. (seven references) (MLH)
