Choosing Quality: Reducing Conflict between the State and the University.
Newman, Frank

The following chapters are presented: (1) "Choosing Quality" (includes policy, interest in quality, university role, trends in state/university relationships, and resources); (2) "The Nature of Appropriate Policy Versus Inappropriate Intrusion" (includes bureaucratic, ideological and political intrusion and the functioning of the university); (3) "The Causes of Inappropriate Intrusion" (includes growth of state involvement and of higher education, quality mandates, missions, prestige and power, geography, politics, governing boards, and multicampus systems); (4) "Creating a Positive Climate" (includes cutting back bureaucracy, incentive funding, trust and the governance structure); and (5) "What Is It That Matters?" (includes aspiration, tradition, leadership, and university, board, system and state roles and responsibilities).
