Top Public Policy Programs Have Almost No Conservative Faculty. Issue Brief
Frederick M. Hess; Riley Fletcher
Manhattan Institute for Policy Research
Schools of public policy are explicitly charged with preparing their students to play significant roles in public life. This paper looks at the degree to which policy schools appear to be honoring a commitment to ideological diversity and bridge-building. The authors took a closer look at the ideological composition of the faculty in 10 of the nation's most prominent policy programs. Are these schools assembling a faculty that is broadly reflective of the world that their graduates will inhabit and that will allow students to encounter a broad spectrum of competing views, values, ideologies, and governing philosophies?
