Neil Fabricant

Neil Fabricant according to the website of the Graduate School of Political Management which he founded in 1986, is "a lawyer from New York City and former Legislative Director of the New York Civil Liberties Union" who "convinced the New York State Board of Regents that a school of professional politics – not political science, not public policy, not public administration – was necessary and desirable. He realized that a new profession of politics was coming into being and that a dedicated school could nurture that development and, in the process, improve democratic politics."
