CAREY INSTITUTE FOR GOVERNMENT REFORM
Professor Seymour Lachman,
Director
"...colleges and universities are the institutions best suited for conducting
the studies necessary to shape and disseminate an agenda for reform:
-- The academic environment provides multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary
resources for analyzing proposed reforms, as well as the impact of proposals
once they are enacted.
-- The academic environment, with its ideals and traditions of rigorous and
dispassionate nonpartisan analysis, is far better suited than any number of
ideological think tanks to lay the groundwork for developing a broad consensus
of public support for reform proposals.
-- The academic environment is oriented toward creating multigenerational
interests in the need to adapt proposals as conditions change over time."
