Introducing McCourt’s new full-time faculty members This fall, the McCourt School welcomed Carole Roan Gresenz, Bradley Holst, Rebecca Johnson and Paul Treacy to our full-time faculty. These new professors bring research expertise in health, ethics, education, and labor and employment policy.

How do policymakers decide whom to help? In a new study, Professor Rebecca Johnson analyzes what happens when governments use predictive modeling to allocate critical resources. Johnson studied two cases where governments try to judge the need for help: the waitlist policies that local governments use to distribute housing vouchers and the formulas that states and K-12 school districts use to distribute financing.

How can institutions safely expand their use of student data? This spring, McCourt's Massive Data Institute conducted a landscape analysis of data privacy in the K-12 and postsecondary education fields to investigate interest in advanced data privacy technologies.

Those who can do… also teach McCourt School alum Bobby Clark (MPP’06) has joined George Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public Health as a part-time faculty member. His introductory graduate course on health policy within the school’s Department of Health Policy and Management came to a close in August.
