Our Faculty and Staff
The University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture established the Public Policy
Center in 2004 in Little Rock 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.
