The Public Policy Center was established in 2004 by the University of Arkansas System
Division of Agriculture to provide research-based, non-partisan analyses and evaluation
of public policy issues. The Center's goal isn't to tell citizens what to think, but
rather to increase their knowledge and awareness of public issues and participation
in decisions regarding those issues.
