  • Building the Future Dennis Keller and His Landmark $20 Million Gift to the School
    FALL/WINTER 2014 America’s Hidden Hunger Crisis Behavioral Insights and Parenting Lab Measuring Chicago’s Creative Economy THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO HARRIS SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY BUILDING THE FUTURE DENNIS KELLER AND HIS LANDMARK $20 MILLION GIFT TO THE SCHOOL PLUS: DAVID AXELROD ON THE 2015 U.K. ELECTIONS LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT AND PROVOST The Harris School of Public Policy embodies many of the values that make the University of Chicago distinct. The school’s interdisciplinary and data-driven approach to policy analysis reflects the University’s culture of rigorous inquiry, and faculty and student engagement with the City of Chicago and other urban centers demonstrates the impact of research on societal challenges in education, crime, energy and other fields. These efforts draw scholars and practitioners to campus to exchange ideas and learn. Because the school stands at the intersection of so many import- ant ideas, we recognized that its next dean would need to build on these existing strengths and think creatively about public policy scholarship and education. We wanted a leader who could work with scholars across the University and engage with business, political and civic leaders in Chicago and beyond to ensure that the school influences major policy debates. Robert J. Zimmer Eric D. Isaacs We found such a person in Daniel Diermeier, who started his tenure as dean on September 1. Dean Diermeier, previously the IBM Professor of Regulation and Competitive Practice at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, is an internationally recognized scholar of political institutions, formal political theory and the interaction of business and politics.

We use a model of multilateral bargaining to demonstrate that this intuition may be flawed. Increasing the number of veto players or raising the supermajority requirement for redistribution may reduce protection on the equilibrium path. The reason is the ex- istence of two distinct mechanisms of property protection.

  • Search for Dean Harris School of Public Policy University of Chicago
    Search for Dean Harris School of Public Policy University of Chicago THE SEARCH The University of Chicago seeks an experienced, inventive and ambitious scholar/administrator as the next dean of the Harris School of Public Policy. The Harris School was founded 25 years ago in line with the University of Chicago’s traditions of intellectual rigor and interdisciplinary investigation. Its exacting, data-driven perspective, across a range of disciplines and policy domains, has distinguished the Harris School from its competitors. In a brief period of time, with the leadership of Dean Daniel Diermeier, the Harris School faculty and staff developed an array of new initiatives and blazed a remarkable path. Recent successes will provide the next dean with a rare opportunity to build a preeminent professional school for the next generation of policy leaders. In fundraising, the school has been the recipient of transformational gifts: $38 million in total to build its new home, the Keller Center and a landmark $100 million gift to establish The Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts and The Pearson Global Forum. At the same time, the ranks of the full-time faculty have increased by 24% to 41, with top flight hires in the areas of conflict and international development, data analytics, energy, labor economics and political economy. New degrees are now offered in the areas of computational analysis, environmental sciences, a certificate in data analytics as well as a BA in public policy for undergraduates in the College. Organizationally, the school has invested in enhancing staff capacity in advising, marketing, development and enrollment management to deliver a world class student experience and to enable the school to grow.
