The foundings of two-year postsecondary schools are examined for the years 1942 to 1979, the period of their most rapid expansion. This multi-level, dynamic model is specified at the level of the state and for those states with nontrivial numbers of schools. Hypotheses that are tested include ones from organizational ecology, which predicts that annual foundings are a function of legitimation and competition, and institutional theory, which draws attention to public demand. It is also hypothesized that population of two-year colleges is responsive to business elites, affluence, the labor force needs of a diversified economy, and Democratic Party pluralities. The findings support these hypotheses and also suggest that business elites play an important role under the condition that there is a surplus of high school graduates in the state. |
