Jones Submitted to Yale Gordon College of Liberal Arts, University of Baltimore In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of: Doctor of Public Administration February, 2016 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The completion of a doctoral degree is a culmination of lifelong educational pursuit. As such, it is not accomplished by the individual alone, but is a product of their life experience inclusive of the love and support of family and friends, as well as the direction from the academic scholars and professors.
