Special Note to Popular Government Readers:
Today’s communication tools are evolving rapidly, and the School of Government is carefully evaluating the best ways to meet the changing needs of our audiences. We are seeking ways to be more responsive, provide more timely information, be more environmentally responsible, and decrease costs. As part of these efforts, we have decided to stop publishing Popular Government. Our decision about Popular Government reflects our commitment to do more for you—not less—and to do it more effectively.
We welcome your input as the School considers print and online alternatives to Popular Government. Please complete a brief online survey to help us better understand the type of information that is most useful to you and how we can best provide it.
