Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an opportune time for researchers in higher education to examine policy via cross-state comparative analyses. Momentous court, legislative and policy developments that impact state-level higher education policy are emerging at a rapid rate. The states have emerged as postsecondary policy innovators in the areas of student financing, institutional accountability, and student access.Following political scientists’ "rediscovery" of states as units of analysis--because they constitute unique "natural laboratories" for testing theory and hypotheses about political behavior and policy adoption dynamics--this book introduces this perspective as an increasingly important tool for researchers in higher education.State Postsecondary Education Research provides an in-depth examination of the challenges and opportunities inherent in conducting cross-state higher education policy research. The authors of each chapter use their individual research projects to demonstrate the array of methodological, theoretical, analytical, and political challenges inherent in conducting comparative state-level policy research. Among the innovative methods described is the use of pooled cross-sectional time-series analytic techniques and event history analysis--now widespread within the disciplines of economics and political science--to shift the unit of analysis from the state to the state-year, thus expanding greatly both the statistical power of the models being tested and the data-demands of those models.The goal is to introduce comparative state-level postsecondary policy research to a broader audience, and to contribute to discussions of both the challenges and the importance of this approach to higher education policy research.The book is intended as a resource for researchers in higher education policy and as a text for higher education policy courses. It may also appeal to scholars of educational policy as well as higher education policymakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Job training has taken a central place among strategies to boost U.S. competitiveness in the world and ensure a high standard of living. Decision making in this area has a major impact on American workers who do not earn 4-year college degreesâ€"fully three-quarters of the workforce. This timely volume reviews the state of postsecondary training for work in the United States; it addresses controversies about federal job policies and programs and outlines a national approach to improved quality and accessibility in workplace preparation. The committee focuses on the various types of training individuals need during their working lives. Leading experts explore the uneven nature of postsecondary training in the United States and contrast our programs with more comprehensive systems found in other major industrial countries. The authors propose what the federal government canâ€"and cannotâ€"do in improving postsecondary training, exploring appropriate roles and responsibilites for federal, state, and private interests. The volume highlights opportunities for improvement in the development of skills standards, student financial aid, worker retraining, second-change education, and the provision of better information to program managers, public officials, and trainees. With a wealth of insightful commentary and examples, this readable volume will be valuable to federal and state policymakers, leaders in the field of training, educators, employers, labor unions, and interested individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a "primer" for professionals working on higher education policy and for those who are studying postsecondary public policy. It constitutes a "ready reference" to fill knowledge gaps and as an aid in mastering the nuances of our US governmental systems with pertinent higher education examples that highlight the various roles and responsibilities of the state government, the federal government, and the nongovernmental agencies play in developing postsecondary public policy. It provides policy staffers and educational policymakers and scholars with an explanation of how the public policy process works and how government offices and agencies function along side of the institutions to shape postsecondary public policy. For large institutions who hire their own staff to handle state and federal government relations, this text will provide ample resources and knowledge to allow them to increase their role in the policy making process. For students of higher education this book is a foundational text in understanding postsecondary public policy.

Download or read book Postsecondary Participation and State Policy written by Mario C. Martinez and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that all sectors of society, across age and racial groups, consider access to higher education as essential to achieving satisfying employment and a better quality of life. Yet there has been surprisingly little public discussion about recent major changes in higher education access and funding and no policy debate about how to respond to Americans’ growing aspirations about college.This book stimulates debate by presenting research about future demand: changing patterns of postsecondary participation and census projections over the next fifteen years, and their implications for resources and funding.The author disaggregates state data, taking into account states’ individual histories, size, age demographics, regional characteristics and priorities, to show the different policy options available. Rather advancing any particular policy, the author aims to stimulate an informed discussion about alternative strategies to meet demand and increase access. What is the college population likely to look like in 2015? What are the projected patterns for traditional and adult students? What factors will influence enrollment in private or public institutions, or two- or four-year colleges? The authors set their analyses in the context of the public and private benefits of higher education. This volume presents multiple scenarios of future enrollment, and state-by-state comparisons, that are vital for setting priorities and determining the implications of increasing access to higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this Resource Agent Project was to assist the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (fipse) and the postsecondary education enterprise in developing policy and program responses to the diverse problems associated with a changing economy. The project's three functions were to (1) examine policy directions related to the economy; (2) develop a network among FIPSE-supported projects in education and economics; and (3) disseminate program and policy information generated by the project. It was an experiment of fipse to see if clusters of projects, working in similar areas, could be formed to address common problems in a collaborative way. The project's activities were policy papers, a newsletter, case studies, the "New Directions for Continuing Education Sourcebook," and the Education and Economy Alliance. It convened a group of 24 other fipse projects to form the Education and Economy Alliance. Each of the projects in the Alliance was concerned with improving postsecondary educations' ability to respond to changes in the economy. The goal of the Education and Economy Alliance was to "make the whole more than the sum of its parts" in terms of identifying new policies and practices for postsecondary education responses to the changing economy. The appendix includes copies of all projects developed as a part of the Alliance project. (Sm)

This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conducting “policy relevant” research remains elusive yet important since evidence-based policymaking results in better public policy decisions. But how can this be done? What are some promising practices to help make academic scholarship more policy relevant? This monograph provides strategies that—when addressed—should improve the chances of a study becoming relevant to policy audiences. It provides: practical examples, theoretical perspectives, discussions of key stakeholders, and promising research strategies for framing work in policy relevant ways. By being more intentional about the policy relevance of our work and connecting research with emerging policy debates, we can increase the likelihood that future policy solutions will be evidence-based and informed by the most recent and rigorous research in our field. This the 2nd issue of the 41st volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.
