- Summary
- This discussion of public policy and liberal education notes difficulties in defining public policy and liberal education across the various types of institutions of higher education--from liberal arts colleges to large, state-supported universities. It also addresses problems associated with the relative dearth of research funding in traditional liberal arts colleges.
