Notes

1. As I have argued elsewhere, political institutions can be understood by identifying their goals, constraints, and resources, and by analyzing the ways in which they seek to create and transform resources. See Dawson, Paul A., American Government: Institutions, Polices, and Politics. Glenview, Ill.: Scott, Foresman, 1987 Google Scholar.

2. Since the answers to these questions will affect the ability of a department to improve itself, reviews of any and all departments, one might argue, should be carried out by political scientists, although I have yet to do so persuasively with any non-political scientist.
