You just received a request from a pre-college program director who is asking for access to the library and a few other campus venues for approximately five hundred high school students. The students, she explained, have paid a program fee and were told that they will have access to campus resources and services as if they were enrolled as "real" students. The students were promised a free city bus pass that is available only to individuals holding an official university ID card. The students will be on campus for only two weeks. The next day, you have a meeting to discuss how to authenticate alumni to your portal so that they can order their university transcript electronically.

The question of how public administration fits into the governance process of a democratic society has been of great concern to scholars and practitioners since the emergence of public administration as an academic field of study in the late 1880s. The politics-administration relationship is considered of pivotal importance, as the issue bears important implications for both the disciplinary identity (and autonomy) and the institutional development of public administration. Despite a voluminous literature on the subject, the question remains unanswered. Scholarly inquiry to this date identifies two major positions, one separation and the other its opposite, political. Unlike prior conceptualizations, this article distills the literature into three major schools of thought as separation,...

We consider that the audit quality control must reside at the level of audit process. This position is adopted by the financial security law in Tunisia which encourages the evaluation of the audit quality, by the audit committee.

Articulating qualitative phases and quantitative phases based on two researc...

On January 18, 2007, President Bush signed amendments to clarify and strengthen Executive Order (EO) 12,866, which President Clinton had issued to update principles for inter-agency planning and review of regulations. The most important provisions of President Bush's EO 13,422 clearly extend inter-agency review to guidance documents. EO 13,422 was reinforced by a Bulletin for Agency Good Guidance Practices issued by the Office of Management and Budget.

In the view of the authors, the outcry that followed the issuance of the order and bulletin was remarkable and unwarranted. On the one hand, the two most controversial provisions in EO...
