     ABOUT THE DOUGLASS POLICY INSTITUTE
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Founded in 1993, the Douglass Policy Institute (DPI) is a nonpartisan, 
tax-exempt education and research organization.  DPI promotes public 
awareness of major public policy issues through research and policy 
development, publications, issues forums and briefings, and outreach 
to the print, broadcast and new media.  DPI conducts research on public 
policy issues in the areas of communications, economic development, 
affirmative action, education and technology, education reform, and 
black voter participation.

ACTIVITIES

POLICY DEVELOPMENT:  DPI conducts research on public policy issues in 
the areas of telecommunications, education and technology, education 
reform, economic development, affirmative action and black voter 
participation.  DPI submits comments and testimony in agency rulemaking 
proceedings.

PUBLICATIONS:  From 1994 to 1995, DPI published "The InfoLetter," a 
monthly newsletter focusing on public policy issues related to the 
development and deployment of the information superhighway.  Beginning 
in May 1996, DPI will publish "The Douglass Letter," an on-line 
newsletter featuring news, information and commentary about current 
events and policy developments.

FORUMS:  DPI holds national issues forums to provide special focus 
and interactive discussion on selected public policy issues.  Video 
excerpts from DPI's June 1995 forum on affirmative action were included 
in the National Town Hall Meeting, "A Matter of Race," broadcast on 
Black Entertainment Television.
