Report on Faculty Birth and Adoption Policies in the Planning Academy, May 28, 2010

After serving as the Book Review Editor for the Journal of Planning Education and Research (JPER) for six years, Seymour J. Mandelbaum of the University of Pennsylvania will step down on June 30, 2010. We are grateful to Professor Mandelbaum for his generous contribution to the journal. His immense knowledge of the field and contacts with scholars have been a huge asset for us.

This issue marks a milestone in the history of ACSP—the last issue of Update. For many, many years, Update has been the primary way in which planning schools have communicated with each other between ACSP annual conferences. It is the forum in which major decisions and policies are announced and the forum in which we learn about the successes and accomplishments of our colleagues.

Articles Published in Town Planning Review, University of Liverpool Press
