The Higher Education Act of 1992: Skills, Constraints, and the Politics of Higher Education.
Hannah, Susan B.
Journal of Higher Education, v67 n5 p498-527 Sep-Oct 1996
Adoption of the Higher Education Act Amendments of 1992 formalized a significant shift in federal financial aid policy from grants to loans. A case study of the federal policy-making process and the effects of incremental and fragmented decision making, this legislation illustrates how shifts in the power of actors and constraints in the environment shape policy outcomes.
