Assessment and Public Accountability: Back to the Future.

Ewell, Peter T.

Change, v23 n6 p12-17 Nov-Dec 1991

Too many higher education leaders remain uninvolved, and public patience is wearing thin. Increasing frustration with higher education may lead public policymakers toward greater prescription and intrusion. (MSE)
