Scholarly Interests

Emphasis on educational policy,  finance and school business affairs for public schools and higher education, higher education administration and college teaching.  In addition to my teaching and advisement duties I continue to advised the Governor, the Office of the Attorney General and the Florida Legislature on “Florida Adequacy” litigation and was recently appointed as advisor/expert witness for the current HONORE law suit.  I have served as technical advisor to the Florida House Appropriations Committee and the Governor’s Task Force on School Finance Reform in Florida.  I was lead expert witness for the state of Florida in the “Coalition” school finance litigation. In addition, I was Director of the Leadership Academy of CCBO, (the national organization of Community College Business Officials.)  My current research activities include an on-going analysis of the equity of the Florida Community College Program Fund and its relationship to recent changes resulting from the implementation of performance based standards for community colleges.
