                                 A BILL


 
         To establish the United States Public Service Academy.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``United States Public Service Academy 
Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In the 21st century, the most pressing challenges that 
        the United States faces will take place in the public sector, 
        including educating young people, taking care of the elderly, 
        protecting the environment, and battling terrorists. National 
        disasters such as September 11, 2001, Hurricane Katrina, and 
        the economic crisis have highlighted the importance of public 
        service and underscored how much our Nation depends upon strong 
        public institutions and competent civilian leadership at all 
        levels of society.
            (2) Young Americans, particularly after the September 11, 
        2001, attacks, have a strong ethic of public service. According 
        to the Higher Education Research Institute, more than two-
        thirds of the 2007 freshman class at institutions of higher 
        education in the United States expressed a desire to serve 
        others, the highest rate in a generation. Applications to 
        private programs such as Teach for America and City Year, 
        publicly funded public service programs within USA Freedom 
        Corps, and religious mission trips have increased dramatically 
        since 2001. Yet with the increase in college tuition causing 
        the average college graduate with loans to owe about $20,000, 
        many students often can afford to pursue public service only 
        for short periods of time and avoid public service careers in 
        favor of more lucrative fields.
            (3) The aging of the population of the United States and 
        the subsequent retirement of the Baby Boomer generation will 
        create serious shortages in critically needed public service 
        positions at all levels of our society, as evidenced by the 
        following:
                    (A) According to the Council for Excellence in 
                Government, 60 percent of the current Federal 
                Government's General Schedule workforce and 90 percent 
                of the Senior Executive Service will be eligible for 
                retirement in less than 10 years.
                    (B) There are more Federal workers in their 60s 
                than in their 20s, and the Partnership for Public 
                Service warns of a ``[Federal] brain drain'' as these 
                older workers leave public service.
                    (C) In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, 
                personnel shortages were ``perhaps [the] most difficult 
                challenge'' for the Federal Emergency Management 
                Agency, according to a Congressional report on the 
                Federal Government's response to the disaster.
            (4) There is a large pool of untapped potential among young 
        women who want to serve our country. Although the military 
        service academies are only 15 percent female, women constitute 
        a majority (57 percent) of college students nationwide. In 
        service organizations, women are an even larger majority: 58 
        percent of Peace Corps, 61 percent of City Year, and 71 percent 
        of Teach for America participants are women.
            (5) American college students lack adequate preparation in 
        fields crucial to public service, including international 
        education and civic education, as evidenced by the following:
                    (A) According to the bipartisan Commission on the 
                Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Fellowship Program 
                established under section 104 of division H of the 
                Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004 (Public Law 108-
                199; 118 Stat. 435), students of the United States 
                often graduate from college without knowing a foreign 
                language or having any experience abroad. In the past 3 
                decades, the percentage of undergraduate students of 
                the United States studying a foreign language has 
                dropped from 16 percent to 8.7 percent, and 
                approximately 1 percent of such students participate in 
                a study abroad program.
                    (B) Young adults of the United States scored next 
                to last in a recent National Geographic/Roper survey of 
                geographic knowledge.
                    (C) A University of Connecticut survey of 14,000 
                undergraduate students found a widespread lack of civic 
                literacy, with seniors barely outscoring freshmen on a 
                test of basic multiple choice questions about the 
                history, foreign policy, economics, and government of 
                the United States.
            (6) The United States does not have a national 
        undergraduate institution to promote public service and develop 
        well-trained, highly qualified civilian leaders.

SEC. 3. PURPOSE.

    The purpose of this Act is to establish a United States Public 
Service Academy that will--

        education in the United States; and

        and in a variety of leadership situations. Direct support to 
        leadership development shall be provided by concurrent and

        of leadership outside the classroom.
    (b) Degree.--
            (1) Degree conferred upon graduation.--Under such 
        conditions as the Board of Visitors may prescribe, the

        Academy.
            (2) Majors.--Each Academy student shall pursue a program of 
        study for a baccalaureate of arts or a baccalaureate of 
        sciences degree in traditional liberal arts subjects.
    (c) Breadth of Required Subject Areas Studied.--Each Academy 
student shall take courses in a broad array of subject areas as part of 
the student's program of study.
    (d) Public Service Concentration.--Not later than the completion of 
the fourth semester, each Academy student shall choose a public service 
concentration, which shall be the field in which the student ultimately 
will serve upon graduation.
    (e) Public Service Requirements Before Graduation.--Each Academy 
student shall participate in regular programming related to public 
service, as determined by the Dean of Academic Affairs.
    (f) Off-Campus Learning Program Requirements.--For each year of 
attendance at the Academy, each Academy student shall spend at least 8

Academic Affairs.
