Bush. ==Biography== John Tye was born in a suburb of Boston.〔 He attended Duke University, where he earned a B.S. in Adaptive and Intelligent Systems, a major of his own creation.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Friends of the Mandela Rhodes Foundation (USA), Inc. )〕 Said Tye of his undergraduate career, "I thought I was going to be a scientist. But when I was graduating, I decided I wanted to do things that have more of an impact on real people."〔 Tye then attended Lincoln College, University of Oxford as a Rhodes scholar. There, he studied philosophy, politics, and economics.〔 After studying at Oxford, he did research on hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center.〔 He then earned a J.D. at Yale Law, where he joined a civil liberties litigation clinic. After graduating Yale in 2006, Tye moved to New Orleans, where he worked on housing issues for low-income families.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Yale Law School )〕 He co-authored a May 2010 study on reform of the U.S. housing finance system, described as "essential reading" by real estate blogger Jonathan Miller, and co-authored the introductory chapter of the 2011 book ''The American Mortgage System: Crisis and Reform''. In January 2011, Tye was recruited to the State Department by his former Yale instructor Michael Posner, then Assistant Secretary of State.〔 He served in the State Department until April 2014, as section chief for Internet freedom in the State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, where he was cleared to access Top Secret and Sensitive Compartmented Information. In his official role, Tye sometimes traveled abroad and advocated for an open Internet, free of government surveillance. Tye is currently a legal director of Avaaz, a global civic activist organization launched in January 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Tye (whistleblower)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
