Administrative History
The Regents' Inquiry into the Character and Cost of Public Education (1935-1938) was funded by a major grant from the General Education Board and chaired by Regent Owen D. Young, chief executive officer of General Electric. The inquiry was initiated to address what was seen as structural deficiencies in the New York State Education Department in the face of rapidly increasing state involvement in education.
