Paul T. Hill joined the Evans School faculty in 1993, and served as acting dean from 2002-03.
Hill is the director of the Center on Reinventing Public Education at the Evans School, a program funded by foundations and businesses to study alternative governance systems for public elementary and secondary education. He is also a non-resident Senior Fellow of the Brookings Institution.
Hill previously served for 17 years as a Senior Social Scientist at RAND's Washington Office in the positions of Director of the Education and Human Resources Program and Director of Washington Operations. Most of his research at RAND focused on the reform of elementary and secondary education. He conducted studies of site-based management, governance of decentralized school systems, effective high schools, business-led education reforms, and immigrant education. He also contributed to studies of defense research, development, and acquisition policy.
While a government employee, Hill directed the National Institute of Education's Compensatory Education Study (a congressionally-mandated assessment of federal aid to elementary and secondary education), and conducted research on housing and education for the Office of Economic Opportunity. He also served two years as a Congressional Fellow and Congressional staff member.
Hill holds a Ph.D. and MA in political science from Ohio State University, and a BA in political science from Seattle University.
