Finding a Jewish college president is no longer hard to do.
L
ike some country clubs and
certain swanky neighbor-
hoods, major college presi-
dencies seemed out of reach
for Jews until the late 1960s.
For years, the lone exception was
Abram Sachar, founding president of
Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass.
Sachar served from 1948-58, during an
era when quotas still were in place
restricting the admission of Jewish stu-
dents to prestigious Ivy League schools,
such as Harvard and Yale.
Sachar and his successors at Brandeis
(Tehuda Reinharz is the current presi-
dent) had the field to themselves until
1968, when Edward H. Levi became
president of the University of Chicago.
He held the post until 1975, when he
joined the presidential cabinet as U.S.
attorney general. The noted scientist
Jerome Wiesner was named president of
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
in 1971, serving until 1980.
Now, the number of the Jewish college
and university presidents has exploded to
the point where, as Lawrence Bacow, the
first Jewish president of Tufts University,
said, Its a non-issue."
In addition to President Bacow, who
has served since 2001, here's a list of
some of the major colleges and univer-
sities that either now have or recently
had Jewish presidents.
Harvard (Cambridge, Mass.):
Proving that you can't always tell by
names alone, Harvard's last president,
Neil Rudenstine, who served from
1991-2001. His father was Jewish, his
mother Irish Catholic. His successor
and current president, Lawrence
Summers, also is Jewish. Summers,
who served as U.S. secretary of
Treasury from 1999-2001 (you'll find
his signature on our currency), took
office on July 1, 2001.
Yale (New Haven, Conn.):
Richard Levin, a former professor of
economics, has been president since 1993.
Princeton (N.J.):
Harold Shapiro, who also was the
first Jewish president of the University
of Michigan (1980-88), was president
of Princeton from 1988-2001. His
successor is Princeton's first female
president.
University of Pennsylvania
(Philadelphia):
Judith Seitz Rodin, who was
appointed president in December
1993, was also the first woman to lead
an Ivy League school. She was the first
Jewish woman to become a university
president and the first Penn alumna to
serve as president (Class of 1966). She
previously served as provost of Yale
from 1992-94, having spent 22 years
on its faculty.
According to figures released last
month by the Chronicle of Higher
Education, Rodin is also the highest
paid university president in the coun-
try. Her total compensation package
for fiscal year 2001 exceeds $800,000.
Former Princeton President Shapiro
came in second with more than
$705,000 annually.
Dartmouth College (Hanover, N.H.):
Dr. James Oliver Freedman was the
first Jewish president of Dartmouth,
serving from 1987-98.
Columbia University (New York, N.Y.):
Michael Sovern was Columbia's first
Jewish president. He served from
1980-93. Judith Shapiro became presi-
dent of Barnard College, the women's
college affiliated with Columbia, in
1994.
George Washington University
(Washington, D.C.):
Stephen Joel Trachtenberg has been
president since 1988. He was presi-
dent of University of Hartford
(Conn) from 1977-88.
Williams College (Williamston, Mass):
Morton Owen Schapiro became
president in 2000.
Bowdoin College (Brunswick, Maine):
Barry Mills was inaugurated in
October 2001. He is the fifth •
Bowdoin alumnus .to serve as presi-
dent.
Trinity College (Hartford, Conn.):
Richard Hersh is the most recent
addition to the ranks, having taken
office this year. ❑
