The University made a strategic decision in 2008, to focus its resources more directly on its core business of education and research. As a result, it no longer houses the program on its campus nor provides staffing and resources to support it. In addition, the U.S. Senate Productivity Awards, that provided the initial impetus for the program in 1983, is no longer awarded after the 2008 program cycle.
