Harris Public Policy was founded on the belief that rigorous, evidence-based research is the best guide for public policy. Steeped in the University of Chicago's rich tradition of scholarship and innovation, Harris Public Policy faculty and students bring an exacting, data-driven perspective to the full spectrum of policy concerns. It's this point of view, rather than a particular policy domain, that has defined Harris since its founding, guiding us as we address today's most complex challenges and nurture a new generation of leaders driven to change the world.
