| Abstract: | This paper attempts to place the fiscal problems faced by higher education in a broad political economic context so strategies for coping with declining resources can be better evaluated. At the national level, fiscal crisis theories are used to examine broad changes in higher education spending patterns. At the state level, theories of regional variation are used to understand more fully why some states face conditions of greater fiscal authority than others. At a concrete level, the strategies evolving in New York State for allocating resources are explored, and the responses of one institution - the State University of New York at Buffalo - are examined.My thanks to the Institute for Higher Education Law and Governance, School of Education, University of Houston, for support that made this research possible. My thanks to Paul Loucks for his careful reading and commentary on a draft of this paper. |
