How Michigan Stores Its Fine Arts in a Box
$ Back (https://lansingcitypulse.newsbank.com/browse/MLCP/2002/december/04/1) City Pulse - Cover Story December 4, 2002 Publication: Lansing City Pulse (MI) Word Count: 4141 How Michigan Stores Its Fine Arts in a Box By DANIEL STURM In 1980, when the State of Michigan decided to acquire a major sculpture, the art community chose the world-renowned artist Michael Heizer and proudly purchased "This Equals That," the largest sculpture in the United States. They placed it just west of the Capitol in downtown Lansing. The piece was praised by art critics as a clever geometric concept showing one full circle, two halves, four quarters, and eight eighths, all within a whole. Michigan invested a hefty $540,000- the price one pays for a sculpture referenced in art catalogs worldwide. Irving Taran, a Michigan State University art professor, recalls often picking up visiting friends from the airport and taking them directly to see the monumental sculpture in the middle of the night. "We had popcorn and looked at it. They would say "My god, a Michael Heizer in Lansing, Mich.," and I would say "Amazing, isn't it?" and they would respond "Most amazing!" For capital residents, a starlit evening with popcorn and metropolitan art may never again be possible: Two weeks ago, construction crews began removing the seven iron, oxide-tinted monumental structures to a state warehouse. When the sculpture was fabricated, the concrete objects had been sprayed over a stainless steel, plywood and mesh framework. According to the state Department of Management and Budget, there were cracks in the pieces that let water seep through to rot interior boards. -

The Origination of Michigan's
THE ORIGINATION OF MICHIGAN’S CHARTER SCHOOL POLICY: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS By James N. Goenner A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Educational Administration 2011 ABSTRACT THE ORIGINATION OF MICHIGAN’S CHARTER SCHOOL POLICY: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS By James N. Goenner In 1993, Michigan Governor John Engler called the bluff of a political rival, which resulted in the nearly overnight elimination of Michigan’s school funding system and created an opportunity for him to advance his vision for broader educational reform. This study illustrates how Engler functioned as a public policy entrepreneur to take advantage of this window of opportunity in order to advance his vision for a competitive educational marketplace. The idea of using choice and competition to create an educational marketplace had been commonly associated with attempts to privatize public education through vouchers. This posed a seemingly impossible hurdle for Engler, as Michigan’s Constitution has a strict prohibition preventing public funds from being used by non-public schools. Engler was an avid reader and was always searching for new ideas. So when charter schools began to emerge on the educational landscape as a way to withdraw the exclusive control schools districts held over the provision of public education and establish new public schools that could provide choice and competition to the extant system, Engler was intrigued. Applying Schneider, Teske & Mintrom’s (1995) theory of public policy entrepreneurs, the study shows how Engler performed the three essential functions that all entrepreneurs undertake to accomplish their goals in order to originate Michigan’s charter school policy. -
