- Title
Public affairs, administrative faculty and the Winter Commission Report.
- Authors
Dunn, Delmer D.
- Abstract
The Winter Commission recommendations profoundly impact teaching and research in public affairs and administration. Those who read the report may find parts they agree with or identify areas that are not addressed in the recommendations. But the core of the report has programmatic implications for university and college public affairs and administration programs to which faculty and administrators in these programs must devote serious attention. The Winter Commission issues a clarion call for a new kind of public service which will require radical curricular transformation. The report should stimulate faculty reconsideration of the core curriculum of their degree programs to emphasize the best practices in public organization design and management control systems. The reform proposals also suggest that new teaching methods must be developed and emphasized. Program must develop experiential opportunities to assist students in mastering interpersonal skills. High performance laboratories, developed in cooperation with state and local government officials, would bring together ideas and skills.
