Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of state legislatures in organizing and administering higher education institutions, primarily focusing on Texas. The author argues that institutions should be led by independent governing boards rather than central boards, whose power over multiple institutions can lead to inefficiency and political interference. Instead, states should ensure institutions are adequately funded through a tax specifically allocated for that purpose, eliminating the need for institutions to compete for funds from the legislature. The author also explores the different types of institutions, from normal schools to universities, and their appropriate relationships to each other. The tension between duplication of undergraduate coursework and the potential benefits of multiple institutions is discussed, with the author concluding that duplication is not inherently wasteful and that it can encourage innovation. Ultimately, the book provides a comprehensive framework for organizing and administering institutions of higher education, emphasizing the importance of autonomy, collaboration, and stable funding.
