Dear Colleagues,
We thought you would be interested in the new report by Netter
Center Director Ira Harkavy and Assistant Director Rita
Hodges on Democratic
Devolution: How America’s Colleges and Universities Can Strengthen Their
Communities, which was just released by the Progressive Policy
Institute (PPI). PPI is an independent, DC-based think tank.
The link to the Full Report is:
In announcing the report, PPI
president Will Marshall noted that "Harkavy and Hodges call for a
'democratic devolution'--new civic partnerships between government and 'higher
eds' to tackle urgent community problems, especially low-performing
schools." It is time, Marshall further notes, for higher eds
"to make service to their communities once again an integral part of the
public mission of every U.S. college and university."
Best, Joann
