Abstract
In this article, we report the results of an analysis of legislatively enacted reforms in state governance of higher education from 1985–2000. Building on the state policy innovation and diffusion literature, we develop a new explanation for governance change, which we term the "political instability hypothesis." Using event history analysis, we then examine the proposition that reform is driven more by changes on the macropolitical landscape of the states than by state economic climates or by conditions within public higher education systems. Our analysis reveals strong support for the political instability hypothesis.
