This series concerns the Graduate School of Management and Urban Policy, the graduate public policy division of The New School, which is, as of 2023, called the Milano School of Policy, Management and Enviroment. The original labels on the files in this series use the initials MGS, but the contents of the folders mostly concern the period in which the program was named Graduate School of Management and Urban Policy (GSMUP). GSMUP formed in 1978 (under a slightly different name). In 1996, Robert J. Milano's name was added to the division's name. Given that these files were most likely compiled after the name change, MSG may stand for Milano School of Graduate Studies.
