Abstract
This address dichotomized academic research and policymaking as two separate, distinct, and often conflicting worlds or cultures. Higher education as a field of study was used as a case example illustrating academic research, and state legislative politics illustrated the world of policymaking. Suggestions were made for finding ways of communicating between the two cultures, and specific recommendations were included.
