Prof. Shen Publishes Op-Ed on Minneapolis Schools in Star Tribune

Professor Francis Shen wrote an op-ed for the Star Tribune entitled "For Better Minneapolis Schools, Embrace Mayoral Control." Shen said that if the next mayor of Minneapolis wants to be known as the Twin Cities Education Mayor, he or she should consider pronouncing their intentions to seek formal governance powers of Minneapolis schools. Shen has published extensively on mayors and urban education governance and teaches a course on Education Law and Policy.
