AIPCL PRESERVATION & PUBLIC ACCESS POLICY
The American Institute for Policy and Civic Leadership (AIPCL) is committed to preserving its research and ensuring that every study remains permanently free of charge. Our work is created to strengthen constitutional understanding and civic responsibility, and we believe that civic knowledge must never be restricted by cost, membership, or paywalls.
1. AIPCL studies are always free.
AIPCL does not sell its publications. We do not charge for access. We do not require subscriptions or accounts. Every study is provided at no cost as part of our civic mission.
2. Public access is a civic responsibility.
A self‑governing nation depends on informed citizens. For that reason, all AIPCL studies are available in digital form for unrestricted public use, sharing, and educational application.
3. Preservation ensures future generations can benefit.
Each AIPCL study is archived in multiple independent repositories—including national libraries, digital archives, and academic collections—to guarantee long‑term availability and discoverability.
4. Our work is part of the civic record.
AIPCL studies are written to endure. They are designed to serve today’s readers and future researchers seeking clear, nonpartisan constitutional analysis.
By keeping our work free and permanently accessible, AIPCL fulfills its mission: to strengthen civic understanding and help citizens uphold the principles of constitutional self‑government.

AIPCL NEWSROOM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE American Institute for Policy and Civic Leadership (AIPCL) Saint Paul, Minnesota — May 15, 2026
AIPCL Announces New Study on Washington’s Farewell Address.
The American Institute for Policy and Civic Leadership (AIPCL) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has formally approved a new civic‑education study examining the enduring lessons of George Washington’s 1796 Farewell Address.
The forthcoming study will offer a modern interpretation of Washington’s warnings about national unity, public credit, constitutional order, and the responsibilities of citizenship. The project continues AIPCL’s mission to provide clear, accessible, and nonpartisan civic‑education materials grounded in primary sources.
Senior Fellow Dwight A. Poss will lead the study. “Washington’s Farewell Address is a gift to every generation,” said Poss. “Our goal is to make its wisdom accessible to ordinary citizens in a clear, nonpartisan way.”
The Board supports the study because Washington’s civic warnings remain essential to understanding the responsibilities of self‑government. This work aligns directly with AIPCL’s mission to strengthen civic understanding through scholarship that is free, factual, and accessible to all.
The study is scheduled for release this summer and will be made available to the public at no cost.
