PAD 598-01, Major Public Policy Issues in Southern Colorado

Instructor: Richard Box

This course, taught by Professor Richard Box, is an exercise in applying concepts about community governance to contemporary local public policy issues. The primary learning objective is to give students the tools to understand policy issues as citizens and as professionals. The course is divided into four topical areas, one for each of the Saturday sessions. The four topics are expressed as questions:

1. What should be the size and scope of the government?

2. How should we manage or control growth?

3. How can we protect and improve community life?

4. What should be the role of public professionals in the community?

Course readings cover issues of citizenship, community, and local public policy development and implementation, both nationwide and in Colorado Springs. In addition to student discussions and presentations by the professor, each Saturday session will include a panel presentation by people from the local community who are involved in the issues being studied.
