In all, the group of papers offers readers a notion of what to expect at thenext annual Teaching Public Administration Conference. Attendees cananticipate a broad range of papers, experiential workshops, and roundtablediscussions of pedagogical research, theoretical exploration, creative pedagogicalapproaches and techniques, and exemplar case studies of teaching experiences.In fact, one of the most commonly heard reactions to the conference is that itis one of the most practically useful experiences for professors, both seasonedand new. We hope to see you in 2010 at Grand Valley State University inGrand Rapids, Michigan.— Margaret Stout, Ph.D.West Virginia UniversityJournal of Public Affairs Educationvii
Public Values As aCore Element of NASPAAMarvin B. MandellUniversity of Maryland, Baltimore CountyEDITOR’S NOTE:Here, JPAE is pleased to provide the text of the presidential address delivered onOctober 17, 2008, at last year’s Annual Conference of the National Association ofSchools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA), in Charleston, SouthCarolina. For publication as an article, the text of this speech was edited.ABSTRACTThe diversity of types of degrees offered by NASPAA member programs creates bothchallenges and opportunities. One of the most vexing of these challenges concernsthe identity of our field. In this address, I suggest that bringing public values to bearupon the analysis and management of organizations, programs, and policies shouldbe a core element of the identity of NASPAA and its member programs. At the sametime, it appears that to date we have not been entirely successful in helping societyincorporate public values other than economic efficiency into public policy andmanagement. In addition to sharpening the identity of NASPAA and its members,doing a better job of helping society incorporate public values other than economicefficiency into public policy and management can help reverse the erosion of the roleof government that we have witnessed over the past four decades.PUBLIC VALUES AS A CORE ELEMENT OF NASPAAThe coming year promises to be, for better or worse, an interesting one forNASPAA and its member programs, as well as our profession. Regardless of theoutcome of the upcoming presidential election, it seems fair to say that both theconfidence in and the expectations of government at all levels will rise — at least inthe short run. Combined with a likely recession, most of us are expecting greaterinterest in NASPAA programs, which is generally a good thing, even if we don’tknow where the budgets to maintain and expand our programs will come from.JPAE 15(3): 261–267 Journal of Public Affairs Education 261
