President Bok discussed Harvard's developing public policy program Saturday morning during his address to the Associated Harvard Alumni (AHA) and representatives from more than 70 Harvard Clubs.
Emphasizing what he called a "growing concern about increased government regulation," Bok described Harvard's work to augment public policy learning as "an effort to fill the missing link in higher education."
Bok said the graduate program for public policy, involving the Kennedy School of Government and the Graduate Schools of Education, Design and Public Health, was "the largest and most important new initiative that has taken place at Harvard" in the last few years.
"The mission is to develop a professional school that is dedicated to research on important questions of public policy," Bok said, stressing his hope that the public policy work, now based on a two-year masters' program, would be expanded.
The speech marked the start of the final day at Harvard for the AHA members, who closed their three-day conference here Saturday afternoon with a rainy Harvard-Cornell football game and post-game cocktails.
