Abstract

John F. Witte has been prominent in the academic discourse surrounding market-like reforms of public education. In the two-volume Choice and Control in American Education (1990), Witte and his coeditor, William S. Clune, assembled an impressive collection of analytical essays and literature reviews that highlighted relevant theoretical concerns and showcased the insights from practice available at the time. In September 1990, Witte was appointed the state's evaluator of the pioneering Milwaukee, Wisconsin, voucher program.
