Michael Harris selected as new chancellor of IU Kokomo - Kokomo
Perspective: News appreciated my time at Kettering. "Tali and I are
delighted. We relish the opportunity. It is great to return to IU,
my alma mater." Harris was chosen from among four finalists for the
position who were identified by a 12-member search committee headed
by IU East Chancellor Nasser Paydar. "Dr. Harris has a dynamic
personality with great energy and determination," Paydar said. "His
experience as the chief academic officer in two institutions has
well prepared him for this challenging position." Former IU Kokomo
Chancellor Ruth Person left the position in 2008 to become
chancellor at the University of Michigan-Flint after serving since
1999. Stuart Green has been serving as interim chancellor since
August 2008. He had formerly served as vice chancellor for the IU
Kokomo Office of Academic Affairs. "Stuart's leadership has been
extremely important to IU Kokomo, especially during this time of
transition, and we deeply appreciate his service to the campus,"
McRobbie said. The new IU Kokomo chancellor will be expected to
work closely with a newly formed IU office that will develop and
implement a distinct collective mission for IU's regional campuses.
The office is headed by John Applegate, vice president for
university regional affairs, planning and policy. Leading the

Hill, Maryellen Weimer Hardcover $40 00 $32 50 "Michael has an
excellent record of accomplishment, and I'm looking forward to
working with him as we chart the future of IU's regional campuses,"
Applegate said. As the chief ranking academic officer for Kettering
University, Harris has been responsible for all aspects of the
academic mission of the university, including oversight of academic
budgets, the appointment of faculty and all academic and curricular
matters. In addition, he has served as the vice president for
student affairs. Harris led Kettering, in collaboration with
Swedish Bio-gas International and the City of Flint, to develop the
state's first Center of Energy Excellence, receiving $1 million
from the Department of Energy. He initiated Entrepreneurship Across
the Curriculum as a tool to enhance an innovation mindset among
graduates. Harris developed strategies to increase enrollment for
graduate programs, international undergraduate admissions, study
abroad programs and international delegation partnerships, in
addition to overseeing three successful accreditation processes. He
helped guide Kettering to four national rankings in the 2009 and
2010 editions of America's Best Colleges in the category of
undergraduate engineering schools whose highest degree is a
bachelor's or master's degree, including a No. 1 ranking in
industrial and manufactured engineering and a No. 2 ranking in
mechanical engineering. While at Ferris State University, he was
successful in strengthening the areas of academics, teaching,
research, scholarship, retention, assessment and service. He
increased online education, aided progress in assessment efforts
and led Ferris through several successful accreditations. He was
the principal investigator for several grants, including $1 million
from the Dow Foundation to construct new facilities. Harris
specializes in public policy and political economy and has
published three books, Innovation and Entrepreneurship in State and
Local Government (edited with Rhonda Kinney), Term Limits
(co-authored with Gideon Doron) and Public Policy and Electoral
Reform: The Case of Israel. His fourth book, Leading the
LearnerCentered Campus (co-authored with R. Cullen), is due later
this spring. He has published in a variety of journals, such as The
International Journal of Public Administration, Government and
Policy, Nonprofit Quarterly, Utopian Studies, Israel Affairs,
Israel Studies, Academic Leader, Perspectives: Policy and Practice
in Higher Education and Innovative Higher Education, as well as
published chapters in several edited volumes. He serves as a
political commentator to a variety of broadcast and print media in
the United States and Israel (including NPR, Fox, Voice of Israel
and the Washington Post). Recognition of his teaching, research and
service include the following honors: an Honorary Doctorate in
Educational Administration from Ave Maria College, Distinguished
Faculty Award for Teaching from Eastern Michigan University,
Teaching Excellence Award from EMU's Alumni Association,
recognition for Excellence in Teaching from the American Political
Science Association and the Michigan Association of Governing
Boards Distinguished Faculty Award. Harris earned a bachelor's
degree in economics and business administration from Bar-Ilan
