Abstract
In 1993, I proposed to restart and recapitalize a moribund Center for Policy Analysis (CFPA) at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. This initiative was a response to mounting criticism of the campus by the business dominated UMass Board of Trustees, the region’s state legislative delegation, municipal officials, business executives, and the general public, who all complained that the university was isolated, irrelevant, and unresponsive to regional needs. Business, political, and educational leaders felt that the university should provide applied research, technical assistance, technology transfer, and other educational or consulting services to support the region’s economic, social, political, and educational development. Those of us associated with the CFPA quickly found ourselves in a new world of business and politics, where we achieved a level of business success we had never imagined only a short time earlier.
