FALL 2011 ARTICLES:
FROM THE EDITOR—Back to School
Editor in chief David Schultz introduces the volume by discussing innovation in the classroom, using advice he received on his first day of teaching: “Never be afraid to experiment.”
No Time Like the Present: Making Rule of Law and Constitutional Competence the Theoretical and Practical Foundation for Public Administration Graduate Education
Curriculum
Stephanie Newbold
exhorts the important but often overlooked role of the law in public affairs and encourages curricula to devote more time to examining the legal and constitutional foundations of our field.
Teaching Law in Public Affairs Education: Synthesizing Political Theory, Decision Making, and
Responsibility
Charles Szypszak
emphasizes the need for administrators to understand the legal and ethical foundations at the core of public affairs. We need not be lawyers, he contends, but to be effective we should understand both law and ethical issues.
Developing Competency-Based Emergency Management Degree Programs in Public Affairs and
Administration
Naim Kapucu draws attention to the emerging field of emergency management programs that have arisen since 9/11. This piece seeks to define the core competencies for this field.
Reformulating and Refocusing a Fiscal Administration
Curriculum
Tough economic times demand better fiscal and budgetary management. Michael T. Peddle and Kurt
Thurmaier argue for the need to define core teaching and learning competencies within the subfield of budgeting and fiscal management.
Social Entrepreneurship and the Financing of Third Sector
Organizations
Consider this question: Are the skills to be a successful entrepreneur in the non-profit sector parallel to those required in the public and private sectors?
Dennis R. Young and Mary Clark Grinsfelder
explore this issue, contending that a broader skill set is required in the non-profit
sector, necessitating a more inclusive method of teaching it if a curriculum is to reflect what is demanded in practice.
Social Integration and Academic Outcomes: The Case of an International Public Policy and Management
Program
International students are an important constituency in American public affairs programs. But they face daunting academic and social challenges as they matriculate. How can we better prepare them to succeed?
Glenn A Melnick, Gurvinder Kaur, and Joanna Yu researched this important topic, and offer suggestions on ways to better integrate international students into our programs.
Advancing and Assessing Public Service Values in Professional Programs: The Case of the Hauptmann School’s Master of Public Affairs
Program
Universities have missions and values. How do we reconcile them with the educational goals of public affairs programs?
Rebekkah Stuteville and Laurie DiPadova-Stocks
provide a case study that explores this integration, offering observations on how to communicate institutional values in the classroom.
Teaching Public Management as a Fulbright Scholar in
Malaysia
