History

In 1938, NYU offered its first Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree in response to overfilled public service-oriented classes at the university. Fifteen years later, NYU established a stand-alone school—the School for Public Service and Social Work.{{Cite web|url=https://wagner.nyu.edu/about/legacy|title=Our History {{!}} NYU Wagner|website=wagner.nyu.edu|language=en|access-date=2017-06-29}} At around the same time, Robert Ferdinand Wagner Jr., as Mayor of New York City, worked to build public housing and schools, and established the right for city employees to collectively bargain. Wagner also made housing discrimination based on race, creed, or color illegal in New York City.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/02/13/obituaries/robert-wagner-80-pivotal-new-york-mayor-dies.html|title=Robert Wagner, 80, Pivotal New York Mayor, Dies|last=Clarity|first=James F.|date=1991-02-13|work=The New York Times|access-date=2017-06-29|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}} In 1989, NYU renamed the school the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service in honor of the three-term mayor after receiving a major donation from Marshall Manley, Ray Chambers, and Walter Annenberg.{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=1989-09-26 |title=N.Y.U.
