The Diminution in Federal Expenditures for Education during the Reagan Administration.
Verstegen, Deborah A.; Clark, David L.
Phi Delta Kappan, v70 n2 p134-38 Oct 1988
President Reagan's plan to reduce federal government and increase states' responsibility for public services was designed to encourage competition and efficiency through a "New Federalism." Since 1981, Reagan has reduced federal aid to education by $15 billion, causing problems for individual states, special needs groups, and educational research. Includes 21 references. (MLH)
