Policy Research in Higher Education: Data, Decisions, Dilemmas, and Disconnect.
Hines, Edward R.
Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v12 n1 p2-6 Win 1999
Dichotomizes academic research and educational policymaking as distinct and often conflicting cultures. Examines legislative support of higher education as an illustration of the research-policy disconnection. Summarizes recent criticisms of higher education research. Discusses differing "mind frames" of researchers and policymakers, their mutual need for each other, and ways to improve communication. Contains 24 references. (Author/SV)
