Abstract
The article focuses on Sarah E. Turner and Brian Pusser who are best known for their research on the growing political and economic influence of for-profit colleges, a result of their work through the Curry School's Center for the Study of Higher Education. Yet for both of them, the focus was almost accidental. For Pusser, for-profit higher education became a point of interest when he began to see the institutions as new and effective players on the political stage. During his graduate studies in political science, he and an associate professor in the education school, Patricia J. Gumport, had documented the ways that shifting patterns of state support for higher education reflected political priorities.
