Associate Professor of Government
Austin Community
College
The government courses
taught at ACC are designed to meet the statutory requirements of all
students earning a degree at a post-secondary institution in Texas. They focus on
providing the student with a framework for understanding both national and
state government and the interplay between government and politics.
Finally, they provide the student with a set of citizenship skills focused
on participating as a citizen in our democracy.
This website has been designed to offer you resources in your study of
government and to provide you with easy access to useful ACC websites. Any
suggestions and comments are welcome.
The quotes below are
provided to introduce you to some beginning thoughts about life and
government as you begin your study.
"Freedom isn't free" - seen

"It may be romantic, it may be altruistic, but
knowledge helps a hell of a lot. In the absence of knowledge, politics is a
free-for-all, and the strong win, even when they probably shouldn't" - Paul O'Neill
