D uke officials and membersof the Institute communi-ty marked a milestone

Nov. 4 with the dedication ofRubenstein Hall, the secondbuilding in the Institute’s com-plex. The day’s theme of celebra-

tion and gratitude was under-scored by a focus on the future, asuniversity officials spoke publiclyfor the first time about creating anew Duke school of public policy.

The $12 million RubensteinHall opened in August, housing

technologically up-to-date class-rooms, computer labs, a staffedresource room and on-campusspace for the Institute’s growingresearch centers.

At the dedication event—onthe lawn between the Institute’stwo buildings — administratorsthanked alumnus and trusteeDavid Rubenstein for his $5 mil-lion gift to the project. The con-tributions of Sanford Board ofVisitors members and other do-nors also were recognized.

Rubenstein, in turn, thankedthe anonymous Duke admissionsofficer who admitted him 40 yearsago, as well as university officialswho provided financial aid so hecould enroll. “Tuition was $2,000a year then, but it seemed like$200,000 to me,” he said.

Rubenstein, who heads up the

world’s leading private equityfirm, said he hopes his contribu-tions encourage more students tostudy public policy and spendtime in public service. He calledthe four years he served as aWhite House aide “the most ful-filling of my career.”

Among others recognized atthe event was the Coca-ColaFoundation, whose gift funded

Rubenstein Hall dedicated as Instituteeyes becoming public policy school

Ambassador James A. Joseph, professor of thepractice of PPS, was tapped in early November tochair the nonprofit Louisiana Disaster RecoveryFoundation (LDRF), established to assist efforts torecover from the devastating effects of HurricaneKatrina.

In accepting the high-profile role, Joseph said,“I am delighted to be able to serve my home stateof Louisiana in this way. I look forward to using myyears of experience in government and philanthro-py to help transform the disaster that hit the stateinto unprecedented opportunity.”

The LDRF is an independ-ent, private foundation estab-lished to support private, non-profit organizations with long-term recovery efforts by focus-ing on education, housing,health care, legal assistanceand jobs. The Louisiana Re-covery Authority, by contrast,is a government body working to rebuild the physi-cal infrastructure of the state.

2 Sanford Institute’s Public Policy Focus

From the DirectorTO THE SANFORD INSTITUTE COMMUNITY:The time is right.

That is the unanimous conclusion reached by task force members whoexamined the question put to it by the provost: Is the moment right tomove toward the creation of a school of public policy at Duke? SinceSept. 1, when the task force submitted its 111-page report to ProvostPeter Lange, we’ve received enthusiastic endorsement of the concept fromPresident Richard Brodhead, the provost, the Sanford faculty, the SanfordBoard of Visitors and other supporters.

We have reason to celebrate because it has taken many years to arrive at this consensus. Atremendous opportunity lies before us, and we are now engaged in the creative and serious workneeded to make it happen. The university, under the direction of the provost, is currently examin-ing what, exactly, it would mean for us to become a school—organizationally, structurally, andfinancially. That process will probably not come to any conclusion until sometime next year.Academic processes take a while because they are thorough, and they have to ensure that whatseems like a good idea is in fact a good idea and not in conflict with other university priorities. Inaddition, even good ideas cost money to implement, so we also have to ensure that we can findthe necessary resources. Finally, the university is still developing its strategic plan for the future,and we will want to make sure a school would be supportive of that plan, and vice versa.

The vision articulated in the task force plan, for example, attempted to be consistent withwhat it understood to be one of the university’s future goals: to advance our ability to put knowl-edge at the service of society. The task force supported a school because it believed it could meetboth the Institute’s current needs and the president’s and provost’s desire that such a school serveas a catalyst and resource for activities throughout the university that bear on public policybroadly defined. The school envisioned by the task force would enable the university to establisha broader, deeper engagement in public life while sustaining and enhancing undergraduate andgraduate programs in public policy that have already earned national distinction.

At present, the Institute’s development is constrained by the small size of its faculty and staff,its limited budget and impediments to fundraising—all dictated by its being a department withinthe College of Arts and Sciences. Although the Sanford Institute is ranked 10th among publicpolicy schools and fifth in policy analysis by U.S. News and World Report, it is the only publicpolicy program among the top 10 that is not a school.

We have a terrific, talented faculty (11 of whom hold distinguished chairs), but it is small andspread too thin. The task force endorsed doubling our tenure-track faculty to 42, which willallow other changes, such as a three-course load, that will enhance our recruiting capabilities.

The varied, complex administrative and financial relationships between the Institute and its12 affiliated research centers require case-by-case solutions. Some centers will remain affiliatedwith the public policy school; others may not. We already have had several rounds of fruitful dis-cussions with various centers, and will continue this process.

The task force looked in detail at the financial commitment that fulfillment of these goals willrequire, and is confident that, with the help of the university and a lot of friends and supporters,the $40-50 million in needed endowment funds can be raised. We are now engaged in a deeperexamination of the numbers.

In past years, many hands helped raise the resources to transfer the public policy programfrom its humble beginnings in the then-crumbling, asbestos-laden Old Chemistry Building to itscurrent comfortable home. Our faculty find the prospect of becoming a school equally energizingand exciting, and we’ve rolled up our sleeves to go at it again.

I hope you’ll join us.

Institute respondsto hurricane crisis

S ince Hurricanes Katrina and Ritaravaged New Orleans and wideswaths of the Gulf Coast states in

August and September, Institute facultyand students have responded to the disas-ter in a number of ways.

Jenni Owen, director of policy initia-tives for the Institute’s Center for Childand Family Policy, sent copies of the newlypublished guidebook “Reaching Out toThose in Need—A Guide to Establishinga Successful Disaster Relief Fund” to stategovernment leaders in the Gulf states.Owen co-authored the guide with otherformer state employees who had success-fully managed the Hurricane Floyd ReliefFund in 1999. The state of Alabama usedthe Floyd model to help establish theirrelief fund.

An evening panel discussion at theInstitute allowed students to questionDavid Schanzer, director of the TriangleCenter on Terrorism and HomelandSecurity, Karl Linden, a Duke environ-mental engineering professor, and OrrinPilkey and Andrew Coburn of theNicholas School of the Environment andEarth Sciences. The panelists discussedthe government planning for and responseto the disaster, as well as the environmen-tal policies and coastal development thatexacerbated the damage.

In addition, through courses and infor-mal meetings, faculty with the HartLeadership Program (HLP) examined withstudents what leadership lessons can begleaned from the catastrophic disaster.

“There are a host of important leader-ship and authority questions we as a socie-ty need to address to make sense of this,”said Hart Director Alma Blount. “We’reasking how and why leadership failed priorand in response to the hurricane, and whatcan we learn going forward?”

Robert Korstad, professor of PPS andhistory, urged his students to examine theprocesses that contributed to creating thedemographic that was hit the hardest—the mostly poor and black population. “Weshouldn’t lose sight of the fact that thesepeople were products of public policy dis-asters before the flooding,” he said.

Hart Leadership NewsSummer of Service • Summer of

Service, an initiative launched through fac-

ulty member Tony Brown’s “Enterprising

Leadership”course, had a successful pilot

program this summer. Nine Duke students

conducted service-based internships in

Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.

Students were paired with alumni host

families, which helped give students a

greater sense of connection to the city,

and fostered bonds between alumni and

current students.The project was created by Ellie Pishney,

Elliot Miller and Jessie Palacios in Brown’sfall 2004 PPS 144s class. Summer of Servicewill be continued in 2006, with partners toinclude the Duke Career Center, the AlumniClub of New York and the Alumni Club ofWashington, D.C.

Payne to work with NY museum •PPS lecturer Bruce Payne, director of HartLeadership’s program Leadership and theArts in New York (LANY), will spend sixmonths next spring working with the edu-cational staff at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York on two projects: designing andinitiating cooperative education projectsinvolving several major Asian art collec-tions; and planning initiatives for collegesand college students in connection with the visual and performing arts in New York.His work will be supported by the Don andShelley Rubin Foundation.

Rubenstein (continued from page 1)

the Susan B. King Multimedia and Tech-nology Center in Rubenstein Hall, named inhonor of the former trustee.

The opening of the building capped thetenure of Sanford Institute Director BruceJentleson, who served from 2000 throughJune of this year. Charles Sanders, chairmanof the Sanford Institute Board of Visitors,praised Jentleson for leading the Institute toa new level of recognition and excellence,advances that “brought the Institute to thepoint where it has the opportunity to developinto a true school.” Sanders also commendedDirector Bruce Kuniholm’s leadership sinceJuly, which resulted in a task force report

that “eloquently articulated” the case for aschool of public policy.

The task force, appointed by ProvostPeter Lange, recommended this fall thatDuke take steps to initiate a school of publicpolicy. Duke’s public policy program is theonly top-10 policy program in the nation thatis not a school.

Lange said a school structure would offerthe Institute “the opportunity for greaterautonomy, and expanded ambitions, yet re-main deeply integrated with the rest of theuniversity.” He noted that “hurdles to be over-come remain” including financing the schooland resolving complex administrative issues.

D uring a Nov. 4 address to a capacitycrowd at Wilson Recreation Center,Gen. Colin Powell, former U.S. Sec-

retary of State, spoke optimistically ofAmerica as a welcoming nation that won’tlet terrorism alter its values, and which bearsa responsibility to nurture democracies aroundthe globe.

Powell’s talk capped a day of events cele-brating the dedication of Rubenstein Hall, the second building in the Sanford Institutecomplex. About 1,200 people attended the 4 p.m. lecture, while hundreds more listenedto the speech via speakers broadcasting out-side on the lawn.

In a wide-ranging, hour-long talk, Powelldrew on his experiences as secretary of statefrom 2001-2004, his 35-year career in theUnited States Army—during which time herose to the rank of four-star general andserved as chairman of the Joint Chiefs ofStaff—and his new roles as private citizenand retiree.

Powell characterized his four years as sec-retary of state, as “very demanding,” withU.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the waron terrorism, and the continued global cam-paign against HIV/AIDS. He called the U.S.action in Afghanistan “a great success,”which helped birth a new government thatrespects women and has held free, democrat-ic elections.

Although he acknowledged that the BushAdministration’s decision to invade Iraq wasbased on faulty intelligence about stockpiledweapons of mass destruction, Powell avoidedcriticizing the president and defended theobjective: “The Iraqi people want the samething we want—democracy.”

“If we had done a better job in the imme-diate aftermath of the fall of Baghdad, wemight not have had the insurgency and thingsmight look a lot better today,” Powell said.

His greatest wish is for a free Palestinianstate “side by side with Israel.” Powell saidopportunities presented by the 2004 death ofPalestinian leader Yasser Arafat seem to beevaporating, with the two nations “slippingback to old patterns.”

Throughout the talk, Powell interspersedpopular culture with tales from the frontlinesof U.S foreign policy, using humorous anec-dotes to illustrate larger themes. As a personwho “used to be somebody” and travel on AirForce One, Powell told of getting frisked byairport security, an example of how post-911security measures became excessive.

Powell responded to a few questions fromthe audience, disarming students by first ask-ing them questions about their GPAs andgoals in life. He described himself as a “wildyoung lieutenant” who enjoyed his 20s anddidn’t excel in school.

Powell urged students to learn from disap-pointments and failures, and move on. “Youcan’t play the tape backward and fix it. To besuccessful, you need to do the job today,think about what you need to do tomorrow,and dream about the day after tomorrow.”

At the Rubenstein Hall dedication cere-mony earlier in the day, Duke trustee DavidRubenstein said Powell—the son ofJamaican immigrants who was educated inNew York City public schools and rose to thehighest ranks of government—“symbolizeswhat I care about. He is someone who hasdedicated his life to public service. His story isan inspiration to me.”

Writing skills (continued from page 1)

Mellon Writing Fellow Elizabeth Fournier.“They are used to getting it right the

first time,” Fournier said. Students oftenare surprised how long it can take towrite a good two- or three-page memo,she added.

Fournier began working at the Insti-tute this fall, helping transform the corePolitical Analysis course (PPS 114) into auniversity-sanctioned writing course.Toassist the undergraduate faculty in mak-

ing this permanent change to the curriculum, Fournier’s proj-ect will continue four semesters.

This semester, she worked with Assistant Professor of PPSKristin Goss and three graduate teaching assistants to devel-op assignments, lesson plans and other pedagogical materi-als aimed at providing students with discipline-specific writ-ing experiences. The required writing section of the course is offered at three times each Friday, and will be offered at five times in the spring, due to increased enrollment.

Writing assignments have included an opinion/editorialand a political strategy memo — about the same length asthe staple policy action memo, but with a different structureand purpose. Students also had to write a statement to bedelivered on the floor of the U.S. Congress, using snappy, per-suasive language that makes an impression when read aloud.

Jay Hamilton, director of undergraduate studies for PPS,oversaw a curriculum review last spring that led to a number ofchanges implemented this fall, including more writing.The goalis to provide students substantial writing support on the frontend of the PPS major so they will be better equipped as juniorand seniors to tackle capstone projects and honors theses.

A post-doctoral fellow affiliated with the University Writ-ing Program, Fournier brings to the position a strong interestin teaching as well as public policy experience.

She was a policy consultant with Abt Associates and MFJDatacorp— companies that provide data services and policyanalysis to government, business and higher educationclients — and focused her research primarily on health caredelivery, prison population management and substanceabuse treatment and prevention.

Fournier completed her PhD in public policy at UNC-ChapelHill this year, writing a dissertation that analyzed substanceabuse treatment policy and outcomes for U.S.opiate addicts.

Student HighlightsMD/MPP elected to AMA post • Chris DeRienzo, an MD/MPP student, recently was elected to serve as a trustee to the AmericanMedical Association. The yearlong commitment begins in June 2006and involves helping direct the AMA and decide where the organiza-tion’s funds and lobbying efforts should be focused. DeRienzo will bethe only medical student on the 21-member board, and believes he is the first MD/MPP student to serve as an AMA trustee.

DeRienzo previously was elected to repre-sent the Medical Student Section in the AMAHouse of Delegates,and served on the MedicalStudent Section Governing Council until thisJune. He has co-authored AMA resolutions onseveral topics, including implications of accessto health care for medical students, teen andyoung adult suicide and medical student malpractice coverage.

DeRienzo said the MPP program has been “great with flexiblescheduling to allow me to pursue this outside interest.”

DeRienzo, of Northborough, Mass., graduated magna cum laudefrom Brandeis University with three undergraduate degrees in bio-chemistry, biology and psychology and completed his first two yearsat Duke Medical School before beginning his MPP coursework this fall.

Student aides lottery commission • Katie Behr’s MPP project istaking her into one of North Carolina’s most hotly debated issues—thelottery. With guidance from Professor Phil Cook, Behr prepared a brief-ing book that was distributed to members of the state lottery commis-sion at their second meeting.

The 15-page book reviews all state lottery start-up histories; prod-uct mixes (games offered by each state lottery); government profit ear-marking; advertising policies; overall sales trends; sales trends of indi-vidual lottery games; as well as the product mix, prize payout rates andsales by North Carolina’s neighboring states.

PPS students collect Fulbrights • Six public policy graduateswere among the 22 Duke University graduates and graduate studentsselected for Fulbright Scholarships for the 2005-06 year. J. WilliamFulbright Scholarships fund a year of study abroad.

Of the nearly 7,000 who apply, only about 1,100 grants are given toU.S. citizens to study overseas, said Darla Deardorff, Duke’s Fulbrightadviser.

This year’s Sanford recipients were: Nicole M.Ambrosetti of Dunkirk,N.Y., who will study “Artistic Exchange in Contemporary Germany” inGermany; Julia C.DiPrete of Chicago, who will teach English inGermany; David J.Finch of High Point, N.C., who will teach English inArgentina; Aneil P.Lala of Chicago, who will teach English in SouthKorea; MPP graduate Cindy Wang of Taiwan, who will study “NationalIdentity and Post-Soviet Estonian Economic Development” in Estonia;and Katherine L.Wilson-Milne of Boston. Wilson chose to decline theFulbright Scholarship in order to accept a Hart Fellowship. She is a HartFellow working in Durban, South Africa, with the Legal ResourcesCentre’s Women’s Rights Project.

Melcher Awards • The Institute’s DeWitt Wallace Center for Mediaand Democracy chose Duke undergrad Andrew Gerst as the 2004-2005winner of the Melcher Family Award For Excellence In Journalism, forhis article “Building Comunidad” from the May 2005 issue of the Dukestudent magazine Towerview. An honorable mention for investigativereporting went to Jake Poses and Matt Sullivan for their series of arti-cles on possible steroid use by some Duke baseball team players, pub-lished in Duke’s student newspaper The Chronicle in April 2005.

6 Sanford Institute’s Public Policy Focus

Global Policy

N ews executives, journalists, mediascholars and policy-makers fromEurope and the United States exam-

ined how media regulation affects news cov-erage at the annual meeting of the Com-mission on Radio and Television Policy:Central, East and Southeastern Europe, Oct.21-22 in Vienna, Austria. The commission isco-chaired by Ellen Mickiewicz, director ofthe DeWitt Wallace Center for Communi-cations and Journalism, and Erhard Busek,former vice chancellor of Austria.

Participants from more than 20 countriesdiscussed the proper roles to be played byjournalists and by governments in providingeconomic incentives and legal protectionsfor high-quality journalism. While the par-ticipants generally believed self-regulation

was always preferable to intervention by thestate on basic questions of news judgment,most were also emphatic that only the statecould provide protection from the preda-tions of markets and unscrupulous owners.The proper balance of self-regulation andstate regulation is not fixed, the participantsagreed, but depends on the unique political,cultural and economic circumstances ofindividual countries.

Russian Mikhail Fedotov, executive sec-retary of the Russian Union of Journalists,argued that in his country self-regulation isnow the only remaining bulwark against anational government determined to silenceopposition views. By contrast, former U.S.regulator Nicholas Johnson argued for a sys-tem of regulation that constrained private

monopolies, which he said “had the sameeffect” as state censorship by limiting boththe number and diversity of views in themedia market.

Without some attention to these matters,said Busek, “the public cannot fight corrup-tion” in government or in the private sector.

The Commission on Radio and Televi-sion Policy was founded in 1990 by formerU.S. President Jimmy Carter to help advancethe role of the free press in democratic soci-eties. The commission’s early work focusedon media policy issues in the United States,Eastern and Western Europe, but in recentyears has expanded its work to include newmembers from Central and Eastern Europe.

10 Sanford Institute’s Public Policy Focus

Social PolicyU.S. Dept. of Educationleader joins facultyWilliam Modzeleskihas joined theInstitute faculty asa visiting professorof the practice,working closelywith the Center forChild and FamilyPolicy. He is theassociate deputyunder secretary in the U.S.Department ofEducation’s Office of Safe and Drug FreeSchools in Washington, D.C.

The Office of Safe and Drug FreeSchools has broad responsibility in threeareas: school safety, including alcohol,drug and violence prevention; schoolhealth, mental health and environmentalhealth; and, character, civic and correc-tional education programs.

Modzeleski also oversees the Centerfor School Preparedness, which developsprograms to assist schools in preparingfor, responding to and recovering frompossible terrorist attacks. Modzeleski has been involved in juvenile justice andschool safety issues for more than 25 years.

Conference to address needs of immigrant familiesScholars from pediatrics, law, social work,education, psychology, sociology, eco-nomics and anthropology will gather atconference titled “Immigrant Families inAmerica: Multidisciplinary Views on the21st Century,” May 19-20, 2006, at theInstitute.

The objective of the conference is tocompile the top 10 recommendationsthe group would make for policymakersin relation to immigrant families. Paperspresented at the conference, sponsoredby the Institute’s Center for Child andFamily Policy, will be compiled into thefifth volume in the Duke Series on ChildDevelopment and Public Policy.

N o matter what the cultural norm, chil-dren who are physically disciplinedwith spanking and other approaches

are more likely to be anxious and aggressivethan children who are disciplined in otherways. This finding, published in the Novem-ber/December journal Child Development,comes from surveys of parents and childrenin six different countries. The research wasled by Jennifer Lansford, a research scientist

with the Institute’sCenter for Child andFamily Policy.

“One implicationof our findings is theneed for caution inmaking recommenda-tions about parentingpractices across differ-ent cultural groups,”Lansford said. “A par-

ticular parenting practice may become aproblem only if parents use it in a culturalcontext that does not support the practice,for example, if they migrate from one countryto another.”

The study grew out of existing controver-sies over whether parents should spank theirchildren or use other forms of physical disci-pline. While some experts say physical disci-pline should never be used because of evi-dence that it is related to more, rather thanfewer, child behavior problems and mightescalate into physical abuse, others arguethat the effects of physical discipline mightdepend on characteristics of children andfamilies and the circumstances in whichphysical discipline is used.

To find out if the latter theory was valid,researchers from Duke, the University ofOregon and California State University-LongBeach, as well as universities in China, India,Italy, Kenya, the Philippines and Thailand,surveyed 336 mothers and their children.

The researchers found differences in howoften mothers used physical discipline andmothers’ perceptions of how often other par-ents used physical discipline. Specifically:

•Mothers in Thailand were the least like-ly to physically discipline their children, followed by mothers in China, the Philippines, Italy, India and Kenya, with mothers in Kenya most likely to physicallydiscipline their children.

•More frequent use of physical discipline was less strongly associated with child aggression and anxiety when it was per-ceived as being more culturally accepted. However, physical discipline was associat-ed with more aggression and anxiety regardless of the perception of cultural acceptance.

•In countries in which physical discipline was culturally accepted, children who were physically disciplined were less aggressive and less anxious than children who were physically disciplined in coun-tries where physical discipline was rarely used.In all countries, however, higher use of

physical discipline was associated with morechild aggression and anxiety.

The study was widely reported in themedia, with inquiries from the BBC, NBC,CNN and outlets in Italy, Australia, Canadaand Holland.

FocusWhen Jenny Michael (’04) sought ideas

for her MPP project from members ofU.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole’s staff, they

suggested a topic that hit close to home—theneeds of dislocated traditional manufacturingworkers across North Carolina.

Michael has watched over the past few years asthe Lexington area, where she grew up, has lostthousands of furniture-making jobs.

“So it was a very real issue to me,” she said. Theproject and a summer internship in Dole’s Salisburyoffice helped lead to a full-time position for Michaelon the senator’s 17-member N.C. staff. She servesin Salisbury as a community outreach specialist.

Michael’s job is to collect information for Doleabout people’s needs across the state and to helpcommunities identify federal resources, includinggrants, that can help solve local problems. Since shestarted work June 1, she’s traveled to towns fromHendersonville in the west to Clinton in the east tomeet with leaders of a variety of organizations.

Michael, 28, said Dole is placing major emphasison constituent service, and she likes being part ofthat. She has dealt with a range of issues, from workforce development to energy to hunger. “I don’thave to pick a particular passion,” Michael said. “Ican be passionate about a variety of things.”

The variety appeals to the “big picture person”in her, she said. Her “big picture” focus probablyhad something to do with her majoring in publicpolicy as a Duke undergraduate. After graduationfrom Duke in 1999, she helped found and thendirected a nonprofit, the CIRCLe (College Initia-tives to Reinvent Campus Life) Network, for twoyears. Then she worked in Washington for twoyears for the organization that absorbed theCIRCLe Network, the National Association ofStudent Personnel Administrators.

Dole and Michael have similar backgrounds.They grew up in towns just 20 miles apart andboth are Duke alumni. Michael, however, thinksher previous work on federal grants for nonprofitshad more to do with winning her a place on Dole’sstaff. Federal grants are another big priority for thesenator, she said.

With the new job occupying most of her atten-tion, Michael said she has given little thought towhere life might lead her next.

“I’ve found that the most exciting jobs tend tobuild on the previous job,” she said. “So I honestlycannot predict what’s coming five years down theroad.”
