Carole Jurkiewicz, associate professor in the Public Administration Institute at LSU’s E. J. Ourso College of Business, served as guest editor of Public Administration Review’s special supplementary issue regarding administrative failure in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
The special issue was published by the American Society for Public Administration and was sponsored by LSU’s Public Administration Institute. With contributions from various academics and scholars, the publication serves as a source for understanding the roots of administrative failure prior to and following Katrina, roles of official and grassroots activists in Katrina’s aftermath and steps for moving forward and overcoming the past. Much of the issue, however, focuses on Katrina’s ramifications for New Orleans, a city where much of the perceived administrative failure was magnified during the disaster.
Employed by LSU since August 2000, Jurkiewicz is the Woman’s Hospital Distinguished Professor of Healthcare Management at LSU. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Missouri at Kansas City, and her teaching interests include public sector ethics, healthcare law and ethics, organizational behavior and research methods and statistics.
LSU’s Public Administration Institute faculty members are highly energetic, student-oriented and nationally-recognized for expertise in their fields. Every faculty member brings academic integrity, professional training and real world experience to the classroom. Additionally, they are considered among the nation’s most productive research faculty, according to the Journal of Public Affairs Education.
