To Be Or Merely To Seem? : Investigating The Image Of The Modern "Education Governor", Marsha V. Krotseng
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Daniel Boorstin claimed in 1962 that for twentieth-century Americans, "fact or fantasy, the image becomes the thing." The 1980s abound with governors promising education reform in their states, activities underscored by the August 1986 National Governors' Association education report, Time for Results. Thus, the image of the "Education Governor" has become the fashionable "thing." But does fact or fantasy lie beneath the surface of this image? This research probes that question through considering (1) the extent to which specific educational measures proposed in Inaugural and State of the State Addresses of twenty modern-day "Education Governors" correspond with their subsequent actions …

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
This study investigated the claim that some of the academically best evangelical colleges are in the process of secularizing.

Validity of the instrument was shown as 94.59% of the evangelical professors …
