James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

About James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

Since 2003, the Martin Center has been a voice for excellence and accountability in higher education. We believe that higher education should equip students to flourish in their careers, embrace responsible citizenship, and grow as seekers of wisdom. We advocate responsible governance, viewpoint diversity, academic quality, cost-effective education solutions, and innovative market-based reform. Our approach to reform is twofold: First, we promote policies at the state and university level to improve higher education governance and practices. Second, we use “sunlight” to expose critical issues in higher education through opinion articles, newsletters, events, and research. Our work informs parents, alumni, taxpayers, and policymakers to spark conversation and policy change.
