In contrast to the halting approach to reform from the current UK government, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have moved fast to slash staff and programmes. That has led some of those frustrated with the slow pace of government reform in the UK and elsewhere to see DOGE as a model for radical reformers.    But what are the actual benefits – and costs – of the Trump administration approach? Is there anything to be learnt from DOGE, or is the whole approach misconceived? And what is the better, feasible model for reformers who want to deliver change at rapid pace while avoiding the DOGE template?     To explore these questions and more, the IfG was pleased to bring together an expert panel featuring:   Munira Mirza, former Director of the No.10 Policy Unit Don Moynihan, Professor of Public Policy, Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan Jeni Tennison, founder and Executive Director of Connected by Data Alex Thomas, Civil Service Programme Director at the Institute for Government   The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government.

A look at the surprises from Michigan's election night results that helped deliver a decisive victory to Donald Trump as president-elect. GUEST: Mara Cecilia Ostfeld, associate research scientist and research director at the Center for Racial Justice at the Ford School of Public Policy at University of Michigan  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode, we sat down with Mara Cecelia Ostfeld, an associate research scientist and the research director at the University of Michigan's Center for Racial Justice at the Ford School of Public Policy. Mara helped us better recognize the attitudes of Michiganders across the Detroit Metro area relative to immigration. Ostfeld and other researchers focused their survey on Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, and Ypsilanti. Across those populations, residents were asked, "Do you think it should be easier or harder for foreigners to immigrate to the U.S. legally?" Then, Michigan Public's own Steve Carmody, in part inspired by Mara Cecelia Ostfeld's study, spoke to residents from other cities and counties including Van Buren County Sheriff Daniel Abbott. Abbott desires a President who will reduce the flow of immigrants moving in from the Southern border. In other areas, like sections of Detroit and Pontiac, some Black Republicans, like Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, maintain that "Young Black men are saying right now that they feel that people who are illegally coming into this country are getting treated better than they are.” Altogether, the topic of immigration looks to be a key factor in attracting voters in the upcoming election. Former President Trump and Vice President Harris each have a plan for solving what many identify as a problem with immigration. Those solutions tend toward mass deportation on the one hand and the creation of earned citizenship pathways on the other.

The United States of America's government faces a funding deadline of November 17th of this year to pass a full budget or a continuing resolution, or shut down non-essential operations. In what has seemingly become a yearly tradition, the two Parties cannot come together on a number of issues and have missed their self imposed deadline to fund the government once already. On top of this, the House of Representatives spent three critical weeks trying to find a new Speaker of the House, delaying important conversations on creating agreement on how to move a budget forward. Of course, there are a wide range of important impacts that come from a government shutdown, which are well documented by the media. However, not many understand the impacts that these potential shutdowns, as well as wider governmental disfunction, have on the US' ability to project its power and influence abroad. In this episode, we talk with Liz Schrayer, President and CEO of the US Global Leadership Coalition, a broad-based coalition of over 500 businesses and NGOs that advocates for strong U.S. global leadership through development and diplomacy. She outlines for us the problems that these self inflicted issues raise for the United State's global leadership, foreign policy goals, and national security interest. From allowing our adversaries to claim democracy doesn't work, to distracting the government from important global issues, it is important that the government continues its regular functions, and remains focused on its important interests at home and abroad. Of course, global issues cannot always direct governmental decisions, but they should factor into our understanding of the impacts of a government shutdown.  ______________________________________________________________________________________Liz Schrayer serves as President & CEO of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC), a broad based coalition of over 500 businesses and NGOs that advocates for strong U.S. global leadership through development and diplomacy.

The Rare Disease Advisory Council, (RDAC) has passed in at least 25 states so far.  This is a bi-partisan effort to give voice to people and their families who are living with a rare disease.  We're talking about 7 thousand plus rare diseases, which include cystic fibrosis. The RDAC would be housed in Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The Bonnell Foundation, along with MichBio, National Organization of Rare Disorders, RDII and a coalition of rare disease advocates (in Michigan)  have been working to get the RDAC passed for years.  A broad overview: In 2020 the RDAC began as Bill 5465, and didn't make it very far.  Then in 2021 the coalition, The Bonnell Foundation, RDII, NORD and Dr. Rapundalo of MichBio our bill sponsor, Representative Cara Clemente, attempted to get Bill 4654 passed, but it didn't make it through the Senate Health Policy Committee due in part to some misunderstanding about the RDAC.  Our thanks to Rep. Clemente for getting us started. The bipartisan bill, 4167, got new life when Rep. Jason Morgan became the bill's sponsor. A first time Representative, Jason Morgan has come with enthusiasm, knowledge, and his personal story of life with Becker's Muscular Dystrophy. We're very hopeful this bill will pass the Senate Health Policy committee in the Fall, continue to the entire Senate, and get to the Governor's desk to be signed. The appropriation for this bill is $200,000.RDAC will simply give us a voice. It will include 21 people who represent the insurance companies, pharma, social workers, doctors, patients, nonprofits, geneticists, nurses, and the bio industry.We encourage you to contact your members in the Senate (on the Senate Health Policy Committee) and encourage them to pass this bill. Contact members of the Senate Health Policy Committee: https://committees.senate.michigan.gov/details?com=HLTHP&sessionId=15To contact Rep.

One of the biggest mistakes we make in health is to mistake healthcare for public health. More tests or treatments simply can't make up for the ways that the air you breathe, the water you drink, or the school you went to shape your health trajectory. Abdul reflects on the powerful role of place in public health. Then he sits down with Prof. Luke Shaefer, Director of Poverty Solutions at the University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy and co-author of a new book, “The Injustice of Place,” about America's internal “colonies,” and how they shape what's possible for too many in our country.

Rory Cellan-Jones and leading experts Charlotte Cavaillé, Ailbhe McNabola and Jack Shaw discuss the causes of income and regional inequality, why policymakers should care, and what policy interventions work best to reduce them.Guests discuss recent trends in income and regional inequality, and evaluate the effectiveness of different policy approaches. They debate the opportunities and challenges of (de)centralisation, what works best to revive ‘left behind' places, and whether the assumptions built into the Levelling Up White Paper will deliver to reduce inequalities. This episode is hosted by Rory Cellan-Jones (former technology correspondent for the BBC), and features guest experts Professor Charlotte Cavaillé (Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan and IAST), Ailbhe McNabola (Bennett Institute for Public Policy and Power to Change) and Jack Shaw (Bennett Institute for Public Policy). Season 2 Episode 3 transcriptFor more information about the podcast and the work of the institutes, visit our websites at https://www.bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/ and https://www.iast.fr/.Tweet us with your thoughts at @BennettInst and @IASToulouse.Audio production by Steve Hankey.Associate production by Stella Erker. Visuals by Thomas Devaud. Relevant links and publicationsShaw, J., Garling, O. and Kenny, M.

I work mainly on American environmental policy design, evaluation, and implementation. This line of research includes explorations of public vs. private utility management, and regulatory implementation as a matter of environmental justice. On the public management side, my work emphasizes professional labor markets as and predictors of innovation and organizational performance. My book 2011 book Bureaucratic Ambition (Johns Hopkins University Press), argues that career concerns shape organizational innovation and democratic governance. My 2022 book The Profits of Distrust (with Samantha Zuhlke & David Switzer, Cambridge University Press) links the meteoric rise of the commercial drinking water industry to distrust in government and a broader withdrawal from civic life. Perhaps my most challenging and exciting work is my applied research on water and sewer utility management, policy, and finance. I've served on expert advisory panels to state governments, UNICEF/World Health Organization, the American Water Works Association, and dozens of local governments. I work directly with government, community, and industry leaders to improve water affordability, equity, and regulatory implementation. To that end, in 2022 I joined the Water & Health Advisory Council.  I'm lucky to have received a classic Jesuit education at Seattle University. A Truman Scholarship sent me to Cornell for a MPA, and I earned a PhD in Public Policy & Political Science at the Ford School at the University of Michigan (Go Blue).

This episode takes us back in time to September 2018 for a talk from our Acton Lecture Series.Students of 20th century American history know of the importance of the Marshall Plan to the effort to rebuild Europe after World War II, as well as the leading role taken by the United States in building international institutions and alliances that would be central to maintaining peace and checking the expansionist desires of the communist world. What you may not know is that a central figure in the creation of those institutions was a United States Senator from Michigan who, prior to the war, had been a leader of the isolationist faction in Congress. The story of how Arthur Vandenberg came to be one of the founders of modern American foreign policy is recounted in the book Arthur Vandenberg: The Man in the Middle of the American Century, from Hank Meijer.Hank Meijer is co-chairman and CEO of Meijer, Inc. in Grand Rapids and vice-chairman of the Gerald R.

In today's second hour, Dom welcomes Dr. Elana Fishbein, Founder and President of No Left Turn in Education, back to the Dom Giordano Program. This week, No Left Turn in Education made news after uncovering a controversial email exchange between a teacher and counselor at the Charles F. Patton Middle School in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, with the counselor telling a teacher about a student's preferred pronouns, also writing that it may be best to hide this from the student's parents. Giordano tells that this is one of many instances of this mindset of hiding gender ideology from parents, with Dr. Fishbein telling how deep this goes. In addition, the counselor and teacher agree to encourage the student, who came out as ‘pansexual' during a recent assignment, to launch a Middle School version of Unionville High School's ‘Gender Sexuality Alliance' club.
