Eagleton Welcomes the Miller Center
The Eagleton Institute of Politics is pleased to welcome a new center led by Professor John J. Farmer, Jr. The Miller Center for Community Protection and Resilience (CPR), to be housed at and affiliated with Eagleton, engages in education and public service focused on protecting vulnerable communities. Projects identify and disseminate best practices, offer training workshops, consult on security and civil liberties, and undertake research. We are grateful to Rutgers alumnus Paul S. Miller whose generous gifts to the Eagleton Institute and Rutgers Law provided the cornerstone for this new center.
The CPR mission "recognizes the world of vulnerable communities we now inhabit and the resurgence of hate that threatens them. Stated simply, the role of the center is to help break down barriers and instead to build bridges between vulnerable communities and law enforcement, vulnerable and majority communities and among the communities themselves," said Farmer.
A tenured professor and former Dean at Rutgers School of Law-Newark, Farmer served as attorney general during Governor Christine Todd Whitman's administration and as senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission.
We look forward to sharing more news about the Miller Center's work and welcome John J. Farmer, Jr. and CPR Associate Director Ava Majlesi to the Eagleton community.
