Charter Colleges: Balancing Freedom and Accountability
/0 Comments/in Charter Schools, Press Releases, Press Releases: Education, Related Education Blogs, School Choice /by Editorial StaffAuthor: Robert O. Berdahl and Terrence J. MacTaggart This paper applies the charter school idea to public higher education.

The argument is based on research comparing highly regulated institutions with more independent colleges across the country, as well as interviews with a number of educational, public policy, and political leaders in Massachusetts. The authors draw on the history of Michigan as well as the more recent experience in New Jersey. Charter Colleges: Balancing Freedom and Accountability

These predictions, in turn, inform the calculation of likely direct and indirect economic benefits to the community of building or expanding a convention center. This paper takes a hard look […]
