Biography

A smiling man wearing glasses and a tie, exuding a friendly and professional demeanor.

Michael Pagano, dean emeritus of the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs.

Recent changes in the scope of the federal government’s responsibilities have significantly reshaped intergovernmental relationships among federal, state and local entities. As an elected fellow and vice chair of the National Academy of Public Administration‘s Intergovernmental Systems Panel, Dean Emeritus Michael Pagano is leading academy fellows in a program aimed at deepening understanding of this evolving federalism and providing guidance to states and local governments on policy actions and strategies.

His perspective comes from having authored the annual City Fiscal Conditions report of the National League of Cities for 30 years and from directing the Infrastructure assessment program of the Pew Charitable Trust’s “grading the states” for 10 years.

Pagano was the inaugural director of the Government Finance Research Center at UIC.
