- Bobby R. Inman, former Director of the National Security Agency and Deputy Director of Central Intelligence

"There has been far too little focus in the academic world on the Intelligence Community and the critical role it plays in our country's national security. The Intelligence Studies Project will position the University of Texas at Austin to be a leading academic center on U.S. intelligence."

- Robert M. Gates, former Secretary of Defense and Director of Central Intelligence

"The Intelligence Studies Project at UT Austin - anchored by the Inman Chair - will allow new generations of young people to learn from and about Admiral Inman, and to learn about intelligence: its many disciplines and dimensions, its structure, how it operates, its strengths and weaknesses, how it is used, and how it can be improved."
