Edjurist TV: Episode 3 - Interview with Dr. Kevin Welner on his New Book: NeoVouchers: The Emergence of Tuition Tax Credits for Private Schooling

Hooray, it all worked this time! This is how I envisioned these sessions and hopefully how the rest will be from now on.

Today we have Kevin Welner, an associate professor at the University of Colorado - Boulder, talking about his new book: NeoVouchers: The Emergence of Tuition Tax Credits for Private Schooling (it's pretty cheap folks, I recommend picking it up!). Enjoy (the resources are below):

Resources:

A decent introduction to the issue of tuition tax credits from the Center for Education Reform.

All the work that EPIC has done on tuition tax credits and vouchers.

A review of the book at the Education Policy Blog.

Zelman v. Simmons-Harris (Supremes - permitting Cleveland voucher program as constitutional).

Kotterman v. Killian (Arizona - permitting the tuition tax credit system).

Bush v. Holmes (Florida - striking down the A+ voucher program).

The Arizona Appeals Court case from this week on corporate neovouchers. 

More Kevin! (he's everywhere - ASU, Berkeley, Chapel Hill - it's amazing).

AEI Presentation on CSPAN. (Video)

EdWeek Pub (registration required).

Surprisingly good radio interview on Religious Talk.

Next Episode: Episode 4 is scheduled for late April. Kevin Brady will be my guest and we will discuss a few issues including cyber charter schools and some of the work we have been doing lately on education law online research. It's possible I might do an AERA episode in the meantime, though, to promote the SIG a little.
