writing the cons 1
Guidelines for writing a Short Paper: Take a position on the issue. We will write the Con (against) for all even numbered Short
Papers. Please keep Short Papers concise and easy to read.
Prepare a Short Paper with the following components:
• A summary of the policy issue and/or legislation that needs to be changed, and while others should see this as a priority as well, including the intended outcomes/goals.
• The current status of the policy issue in the legislative and/or administrative process (law with correct statute #, or bill with correct bill#).
• The change that is sought, and the measurable desired outcome of such change. (How will you know if the change was successful? How will others know?)
