Save the UCLA CAPPP Program
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, urge Scott Waugh, Executive Vice Chancellor of the University of California - Los Angeles, to preserve the autonomy of the UCLA Center for American Politics and Public Policy (CAPPP) Program from forces of consolidation that will destroy our programs reputation for academic success.
As alumni of the UCLA CAPPP Program, we strongly believe that the educational integrity should be protected from any attempts at consolidation. The academic rigor of the research seminar and the individualized attention given by Professor Desveaux attracts the brightest students from all fields of study. This allows for a level of competition gives each student a sense of pride and accomplishment even before they arrive at the UC Washington Center. In a large institution like UCLA, it would be criminal to eliminate some students only opportunity to have the educational experience of individualized attention from a talent faculty member on a research project of their choice.
As the author of the petition and a member of the Fall 2009 CAPPP class, I personally cant imagine my time at UCLA without the CAPPP program. The research paper I wrote while in Washington DC is one of my proudest academic accomplishments.
Please keep our thoughts in mind as you struggle with this decision.

The UCLA CAPPP program inspired me to go to law school, helped get me into law school, and was still a topic of major interest 5 years later at every job interview hence. I would strongly discourage you from diminishing the impact that Prof. James Desveau

My great experience with the CAPPP program would not have been the same without the individualized attention that I received in the research seminar. I firmly believe that consolidation would diminish from the uniqueness that students of each campus have

The research experience I acquired at CAPPP helped me excel in undergrad, pursue a research-oriented career, and be competitive for graduate school. CAPPP is so much more than the internship component, and is one of the many academic programs that I whole

The CAPPP program was truly the best experience of my undergraduate career. I now attend UCLAW, and I truly credit CAPPP and Professor Desveaux with helping me get here. Don't eliminate a rare and wonderful program at our school!

CAPPP was one of the most valuable activities I did while at UCLA. What makes this program so unique is the personal attention given to students on their research projects, as well as the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge to a related internsh

The CAPPP program was one of the best educational experiences I had at UCLA. I believe it is a mistake to diminish this program's scope and the educational opportunities created by the directed research component.
