Acknowledgments

This essay is based on a roundtable of higher education leaders and policy officials convened in June 2002 at New Jersey City University as part of a larger research effort undertaken by the Alliance for International Higher Education Policy Studies (AIHEPS). A collaboration between New York University, the Autonomous University of Puebla, and the University of British Columbia, AIHEPS is funded by the Ford Foundation to undertake comparative research in Mexico, the United States, and Canada on the nature of higher education policy in the broadest sense, and the impact that a given policy environment has on higher education performance. The roundtable was convened to test propositions from an initial study of state policy environments in the United States conducted by AIHEPS researchers Richard C. Richardson, Jr., of New York University and Mario C. Martinez of New Mexico State University. The roundtable was facilitated by Patrick M. Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. Gregory R. Wegner of the Knight Collaborative drafted the essay based on the roundtable discussion.

The following individuals served as participants in the roundtable and helped to shape the essay's central themes.
