The Ray Marshall Center for the Study of Human Resources has been at the forefront of public policy research and development since it was founded at The University of Texas at Austin in 1970. The Center became a research component of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs in the fall of 1987.
Ray Marshall led the center to prominence by focusing its research on the problems of minorities, women, youth, welfare recipients, the unemployed and others having difficulties finding jobs, earning a living wage, and sharing in America's prosperity.
Today, the Ray Marshall Center continues to expand its national and international presence in human resource development issues by conducting objective research and by designing innovative and effective service strategies.
