  • 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.

This report includes a brief narrative, a compilation of summary statistics, and an overview of the Court’s principal activities and programs in 2005. I would like to highlight two important accomplishments in 2005: • the August transition of entrance and perimeter security at Frank Murphy Hall of Justice from a private provider to the Wayne County Sheriff, and • the successful migration of guardianship cases to the Court’s new case management system. In the first instance, the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers has clearly created a more secure courthouse facility. In the second instance, the migration of guardianship cases represents an important first step in the multi-year project to convert the Court’s three legacy systems to a single state-of-the-art system by 2008.

  • Rape Convictions, Including the New Be~D Ford Case, I Noted That ::I New Definition of Rape Was Fmally Taking Hold of the Public Consciousness
    ELLEN GOODMAN At Large Taking 'noj far an answer: the_ range of respanses from men BOSTON- Two weeks ago, in writing about three separate rape convictions, including the New Be~d ford case, I noted that ::i new definition of rape was fmally taking hold of the public consciousness . Juries in three separate cases had determined that, ''If she says no, it's rape." In that column, I also asked whether that same change of mind was part of our daily lives. Rapists, after all, carne out of a culture in which men were supposed to persist and women were supposed to resist. Many men grew up believing that a woman could say one thing and mean another. Since then, I have heard from any number of men, both in private conversations and in the mail , relating their own experiences with the yes-no-maybes of sexual relations. One lawyer told me about the time he took no fo r an answer, only to discover later that she had wanted persuasion. Another friend was convinced that many of the negative messages he received were ac tually mixed. Three of the letters I received were in some ways typical of the response from many men, angry or thoughtful. One can1.e from a Virginia husband and father of two who wrote, "You are wrong when you assert that if she says no, it's rape. By your defmition, I could have been guilty of rape a dozen times or more. But ... all of these 'victims' went out with me again, and many remain warm friends.
