John DiIulio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John J. Di Iulio Jr. is a political scientist, Frederic Fox Leadership Professor of Politics, Religion, and Civil Society and Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania and served as the first director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives under President George W. Bush from early 2001 to August 2001. He was the first senior Bush advisor to resign and was succeeded by Jim Towey. After resigning, he denounced the Bush administration in an interview with Esquire, calling them "Mayberry Machiavellis" who favored political decisions over policy-based ones. [1]
DiIulio has authored numerous studies on crime, government, and the relationship between religion and public policy. He is also the co-author of the textbook American Government with James Q. Wilson, which was recently alleged to contain factual inaccuracies and conservative bias regarding issues including global warming and school prayer.
