==History and organization==
The Pope Center originated in 1996〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Site Info | The John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy )〕 as a project of the John Locke Foundation (also founded by Art Pope), a nonprofit think tank concerned especially with free markets, limited constitutional government, and personal responsibility.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Locke Foundation )〕 In 2003, the Pope Center was incorporated as a separate entity.
The current president of the Pope Center is Jenna A. Robinson, a long-time employee of the John Locke Foundation and a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill and the Koch Associates Program sponsored by the Charles G. Koch Association.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Jenna Ashley Robinson, Carolina Journal )〕 The previous president was Jane S. Shaw, who retired in February 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pope Center elects Jenna Robinson as president )〕 The director of research at the Pope Center is George Leef, and its director of policy analysis is Jay Schalin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Staff )〕 Schalin studied Computer Science at New Jersey's Richard Stockton College 〔(【引用サイトリンク】Jay Schalin, Carolina Journal )〕 and Leef is the former Vice-President of the John Locke Foundation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】George Leef, Carolina Journal )〕 The Pope Center is governed by a board of directors〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Board of Directors )〕 and is also supported by an academic advisory committee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Academic Advisory Committee )〕 The Pope Center is funded primarily by the John William Pope Foundation.〔http://www.jwpf.org〕
The Pope Center advertises itself as playing a "watchdog" role with respect to higher education in the United States in general and the public system in North Carolina in particular; this has on occasion provoked negative responses.〔http://www.johnlocke.org/acrobat/articles/inquiry22-womensstudies.pdf〕 The Pope Center makes available on its website many of the research and policy papers authored by its staff, including reports on campus speech codes, faculty teaching loads, general education programs, and privately funded university academic centers. According to UNC Professor of Romance Studies Hassan Melehy, The Pope Center's commentaries and research papers have called for budget cuts to the UNC system and for increasing faculty teaching loads and eliminating teaching reductions for administrators.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Curriculum For Sale? Conservative philanthropy in North Carolina comes at a price )〕 Most recently, the Center's Director, George Leef, has argued to eliminate the public subsidies for the state's scholarly press (the University of North Carolina Press), calling for it to focus on profitable, general interest titles rather on scholarly works, which "are usually on some personal interest or pet peeve of the author."〔(【引用サイトリンク】Stop the Presses! Or, At Least, Stop Their Subsidies! )〕
