    Business Manager - Institute Of American Civics


    HT
    Business Manager
    Institute of American Civics (IAC)
    Howard Baker Jr School of Public Policy and Public Administration
    The Institute of American Civics (IAC) in the Howard H.

    Baker School of Public Policy and Public Administration at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, invites applications for a Business Manager (Full-time, Exempt).

    The Institute of American Civics is a natural extension of the work the Howard H. Baker Jr.

    Center/School has done since its beginning, and the Institute is designed to build on the University of Tennessee's capabilities in politics, economics, philosophy, American History and American government.

    The legislated mission of the Institute is to provide a comprehensive civic education for University of Tennessee undergraduates and the State of Tennessee at large, including America's founding principles, the economic and political institutions that maintain American democracy and the basics of civic engagement.

    Since its founding in 2003, the Howard H. Baker, Jr.

    Center for Public Policy (now, the recently established Baker School) has served as the Knoxville campus's hub for civic engagement and education.

    In 2022, legislation creating the Institute of American Civics received strong bipartisan backing in the 112 th

    Tennessee General Assembly.

    Lawmakers from both parties spoke in favor of the Institute's mission to strengthen civic education and participation while reviving thoughtfulness, civility and respect for opposing viewpoints in national discourse.

    Senator Baker's legacy of conciliation and respect for opposing viewpoints, along with his deep patriotism and commitment to public service, provide an ideal foundation for the Institute's activities.
