Instructors

Andrea Conklin Bueschel

Meeting Info

Annenberg Hall 303: Tues 6:00PM - 9:00PM

Overview of class

Students develop an understanding of the role and importance of policy as well as how policy shapes the context in which U.S. higher education functions. We investigate the controversies, challenges, and benefits endemic to the higher education policy process in federal government, state governments, institutional systems (e.g. University of California system of colleges, the Virginia Community College System), and within individual institutions. Through policymaking frameworks, we learn how different stakeholders in governments, institutions, and non-governmental organizations develop, implement, and assess higher education policies. Students apply their understanding of policy through exploring an area of their choice (e.g. admissions requirements, student-athlete name/image/likeness, college access and inclusion at institutions, international research).
