WELCOME TO MY HOME PAGE

As many of you already know, I formally retired from the University as of May 31, 2005.  It has been my privilege to share my love (and, hopefully, some useful knowledge) of American government and its politics with nearly 10,000 Northeastern students over the past 35 years.  I thank all of my former students for that honor.   I thank my colleagues both in the Department of Political Science and throughout the university for their support and for their dedication to teaching, research and service. 

I will be continuing to fight for Illinois public universities as I continue in my role as Executive Vice-President of the University Professionals of Illinois
(www.upilocal4100.org), with special responsibility for its political and legislative affairs. 

I will leave this page up as long as I am permitted.  I hope you will visit some of the resources linked below.
