By definition, the institute is subsumed under the School of Teaching and Learning in the College of Education and Human Development. The organizational structure is based on a collaborative diffusion of responsibilities
and control that allows for the empowerment of individuals for independent decision-making while providing the necessary coordination
and administrative support to streamline project fund-raising, support and accounting. All faculty in the College of Education
and Human Development and appropriate other faculty across campus are encouraged to participate in the Institute or become affiliated with the institute in a manner appropriate to their interest level in civic education.
