3. Please remember about this assignment (because I have not forgotten). You will present and submit it tomorrow. Here is the assignment from Wednesday, March 21, 2018:
In-Class Assignment: "Bureaucracy Studies 1" or "Bureaucracy Studies 2"
1. How do government agencies change over time? Students can look up information about the creation of an agency and record the functions and programs originally assigned to it. They can then collect similar information for the same agency (or its successor, if there has been a significant reorganization) as it exists now. What new functions and programs has the agency acquired over the years? What led to those additions? If it is an agency that actually died or whose functions have largely disappeared through reorganization, what led to its demise?

2. As a case study, have students examine the formation of the Department of Homeland Security following the attacks of 9/11. Have them chart out the various agencies, and other parts of the government, that were consolidated or altered by this law?
