The Institute of Government & Public Affairs (IGPA), directed by Professor Robin Fretwell Wilson, has assembled more than four dozen interdisciplinary faculty experts from all three System universities to assess COVID-19’s effects on the state. Each group is collaborating on a series of economic modeling activities, data analyses and syntheses of impact. Two of the groups, the Community and Family Resilience Impact Group and the Economic and Fiscal Impact Group, have already released reports that include suggestions and information that will be useful to legislators and policymakers as they navigate the COVID-19 crisis.
