Chicago Harris Public Policy Lecture - NYC

William Howell, the Sydney Stein Professor in American Politics, will discuss the various sources of institutional dysfunction in Washington. Professor Howell argues that resolving the gridlock requires meaningful reform—but not to Congress. Instead, he suggests a course of action that would consolidate and advance historical trends to a more powerful chief executive.

This event is being held in conjunction with the University of Chicago Harper Lecture series. Chicago Harris will host a reception for alumni and friends immediately after the program.
