Coffey, Amelia; Hanson, Devlin; Pergamit, Michael; Ali, Zackaria – Urban Institute, 2023

Gurantz, Oded – Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 2020
This paper examines the Oregon Promise, a state-level program that exclusively subsidizes in-state community college attendance. I estimate impacts using a difference-in-difference design that links students in states with essentially universal 10th-grade PSAT coverage to national-level postsecondary enrollment data. I find that the implementation…

Burkander, Kri; Callahan, Kate; Ballerini, Victoria; Hagood, Shanell – Research for Action, 2019
State-level postsecondary policymaking is daunting. Policymakers navigate through myriad fiscal, political, and ideological constraints and opportunities as they strive to address pressing state concerns or goals.

Schalin, Jay – James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, 2022
Can an academic institution be truly free if it relies on government funding? Federal dollars mean federal mandates, and those mandates grow increasingly draconian. More and more, they stifle debate on open questions, demand denial of verifiable scientific truths, eliminate due process for students accused of misdeeds by other students, or insist…
