ABSTRACT: Relations between the public and private sectors
of higher education are discussed. In the first chapter,
John W. Gardner provides a historical perspective to the
recent conflict in some states between public and private
colleges and universities. In addition to discussing the
pluralism and diversity that have characterized U.S.
colleges and universities, he suggests that public-private
college differences should be seen in the larger context of
shared goals, interests, and values. Next, Robert H. Atwell
provides a view from Washington, or the perspective of the
national associations. He discusses sources of
institutional funding and competition for funds and for
students, and suggests that the states and communities will
have a major role in keeping the dual system of higher
education unified. A discussion of intersector issues is
provided by Robert O. Berdahl. He reports the results of a
survey of Pennsylvania,Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina,
and New York. A total of 405 responses were received to
questionnaires mailed to public policy liaison trustees and
presidents. The survey sought information on the conditions
of relations between the sectors, the issues that join and
divide public and private institutions, and the policies
and mechanisms that affect intersector relations at the
state level. (SW)
