summary:
Gene Hickok, a former Deputy Secretary at the U.S. Education Department and once Secretary of Pennsylvania's education agency, is a Bradley Education Fellow at The Heritage Foundation.
As a Bradley Fellow, Hickok will advance ideas about the future of K-12 education and investigate the condition and future of higher education in America.
"The next generation of education in America should ensure that every American can participate fully in the promise of a great nation," Hickok said after joined Heritage in 2006. "It should prepare the next generation of Americans for the responsibilities and opportunities that come with freedom."
It is Hickok's second tour of duty at the think tank. From 1990 to 1991, he was a Bradley Fellow and later an adjunct scholar for several years. His fellowship is sponsored by the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, a private foundation based in Milwaukee devoted to, among other pursuits, "strengthening American democratic capitalism and the institutions, principles and values that sustain and nurture it."
Between 2001 and 2005, Hickok served as Undersecretary and Deputy Secretary at the federal Education Department. Before coming to Washington, Hickok was the Secretary of Pennsylvania's Education Department, helping to create more opportunities for students in the Keystone State through charter schools and tax credits.
Other aspects of Hickok's career include teaching political science at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., and serving as a special assistant in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel in the mid-1980s. He is senior policy director at Dutko Worldwide, a firm that works to build public-private partnerships.
Hickok has a doctorate in government and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Virginia. He graduated from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia with a bachelor's degree in government in 1972. His writings have appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Education Week, The Washington Post, The Washington Times and other publications.
Hickok lives in Richmond, Va., with his wife, Katherine, and two children.
