Jay P. Greene

Jay P. Greene ^[1] is a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, an American right-wing think tank. ^[2] He was previously a distinguished professor and head of the Department of Education Reform ^[3] at the University of Arkansas.

Greene writes about and researches education. His research was cited four times in the U.S. Supreme Court's opinions in the Zelman v. Simmons-Harris ^[4] case on school vouchers.

Greene has written several books: Education Myths ^[5] (Rowman & Littlefield, 2005), Why America Needs School Choice ^[6] (Encounter Broadside, 2011) and co-editor of Failure Up Close: What Happens, Why It Happens, and What We Can Learn from It ^[7] (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018) and Religious Liberty and Education: A Case Study of Yeshivas vs. New York ^[8] (Rowman & Littlefield, 2020).

Education

Greene graduated from Tufts University with a B.A in History, then Harvard University with an A.M. then Ph.D in Political Science.

Research

Greene's research addresses topics connected to education and schooling. Greene's work is often not peer-reviewed, a practice which has attracted public criticism by other researchers such as Edward Muir. ^{[9] [10]} Greene has critiqued the merit and utility of peer-review. ^[11] Henry M. Levin has written that: "There tends to be an ideological dimension to his work that even very bright people, and maybe especially bright people, are susceptible to" while Gerald W. Bracey has suggested that Greene aims to get his "slanted statement into the press first. Once the damage is done, people will have a hard time getting the truth known." ^[12] Rick Ayers, in a response to Greene's criticism of his own work, wrote that Greene "would stoop to ad hominem attacks, while claiming to argue for the high road." ^[13]
