On December 31, 1974, President Gerald Ford signed the landmark Privacy Act of 1974 into law. One of the key concepts of the Act is the principle of disclosure limitation, which limits the ability of the federal government to disclose the contents of per- sonal records in its possession. In the words of the Senate Governmental Operations Committee, this principle "is designed to pre- vent., the wrongful disclosure and use of personal files held by Federal agencies."

Assessment, particularly program assessment, has reached a new height
in the APSA with the publication of an edited volume,
Assessment in Political Science (2008),
followed by the appointment in 2010 of an association-wide working
group on assessment. This task force has been asked to investigate
current practices in program assessment and make recommendations
regarding the role that the APSA should play to help departments and
faculty conduct assessment better. Track participants were
encouraged to think about how the issues they raised could help
guide the APSA's overall approach to assessment.
