I dedicate this pithy post to our more conservative peers, whose views might differ from ours but whose values we must consider as we enter the wonderful bipartisan field of public policy.
It appears to me that many of the MPP students are liberal-minded or progressive. Within the context of public policy, we would want policies that espouse greater governmental control. However, many of the stakeholders and colleagues we will work with may advocate for policies that champion individual freedom, free enterprise, and a limited government. It is critical to be open-minded and flexible when influencing public policy. For this reason, I am extremely grateful for the colorful perspectives offered across this blog and in the classroom.
Happy Fall Break, everyone!
