Setting the Governmental Agenda for State Decentralization of Higher Education.
McLendon, Michael K.
Journal of Higher Education, v74 n5 p479-515 Sep-Oct 2003
State decentralization of higher education emerged as a significant governance trend of the 1980s to 1990s. Yet little is known about how or why decentralization first became an issue to which state governments paid serious attention. This study employs multiple theories to analyze the agenda-setting stage of policy formation in three states (Arkansas, Hawaii, Illinois) that enacted decentralization legislation. (EV)
