Strong State Action but Limited Results: Perspectives on University Resistance.
El-Khawas, Elaine
European Journal of Education, v33 n3 p317-30 Sep 1998
Analyzes nature and effects of public-management evaluation concepts on institutions of higher education, using as an example Tennessee's policy of monitoring performance of its institutions by linking performance indicators to public funding. Concludes that while policy has been successful overall, allowing a "firewall" between government scrutiny and academic matters, some problems remain. (CH)
