Case Study of Utah Higher Education

The Case Study of Utah Higher Education examines higher education policies in Utah in order to better understand the state’s generally good performance in Measuring Up 2004: The National Report Card on Higher Education. Utah’s historically strong performance, especially in terms of providing affordable higher education, provided an incentive for the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education to further investigate the public policies of Utah that might account for its good performance as documented in Measuring Up 2004. Interviews for the case study occurred between September 2003 and January 2004.
