Waller, Darlene – ProQuest LLC, 2018
The majority of tenured faculty members, full professors, and senior level administrators, such as presidents, provosts, and deans, are likely to be men (Hammond, 2015). Given that there are an equal or even higher number of women in academic employment, the concern becomes why men still dominate higher ranking positions within American colleges…

Goldhaber, Dan; Grout, Cyrus; Holden, Kristian; Brown, Nate – Center for Education Data & Research, 2014
Barriers to the cross-state mobility of the teacher workforce can have undesirable effects on the teacher workforce and student outcomes.

We describe features of Oregon's…

Milliman, Scott; Maranto, Robert – International Journal of Educational Leadership Preparation, 2009
Chubb and Moe (1990), Coulson (1998), and others favor comprehensive school choice. In contrast, Guttman (1987), Smith and Meier (1995), and others argue that markets decrease participation in and resources devoted to public education. Synthesizing each, we test the proposition that market and political forces complement rather than detract from…
