Objectives of the Course | | | Students will learn about the dynamics of higher education policy from a systematic perspective, involving government, the public, educational institutions, students and their parents, along with other interests. Students will become familiarized about national and local governmental structures and powers, the policymaking that they are engaged in, and how these are integrated into policies of universities. They will also appreciate how government policies facilitate or inhibit the public's access to higher education, and its affordability. Students will be made aware of the conceptual frameworks of the policymaking process that emphasize policy subsystems, such as issue networks, advocacy coalitions, rational choice, policy diffusion, punctuated equilibrium, and research utilization. |
