The Gee Years, 2007–2013

Autor Herbert B. Asher
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 2022
The Gee Years, 2007–2013 chronicles E. Gordon Gee’s second tenure as president of The Ohio State University and the fourteenth in the university’s history. With previous posts at Vanderbilt, Brown, Colorado, West Virginia, and a previous term at Ohio State, Gee is the longest continually serving college president in the country. His second tenure with Ohio State boasted overall fundraising at record highs, created a $100 million fund for student scholarships, called for affordability for college education for Ohioans which helped to shift study body demographics, and led the charge for restructuring the state of Ohio’s funding of higher education. Part of Gee’s close circle, Herbert B. Asher writes from firsthand experience to relate the major events, developments, and successes of the university from Gee’s recruitment through the president’s departure. The Gee Years reflects on a leader who left an indelible impression on The Ohio State University.

Extras

This book is the fifteenth in a series of volumes sponsored by The Ohio State University Board of Trustees showcasing the history of The Ohio State University. The first book in the series is a general history of the university overall, while the other volumes each focus on a particular university president and what happened at Ohio State during his or her administration. This volume focuses on the second administration of Gordon Gee, who served as president between 2007 and 2013. There was actually a first Gee administration between 1990 and 1997; Malcolm Baroway wrote a wonderful chronicle of those years.
My approach to the book was thematic; it is organized around major events, developments, and successes of the university. The book is not a chronological summary of events that occurred during the second Gee administration. I also took some liberties with the time span covered by this book. Although Gee was president between 2007 and 2013, in many instances I went further back in time prior to his return and in some cases noted developments in the administration of his successor Michael Drake. My major reason for going further back in time was the recognition that the beginning and end dates of a particular administration are arbitrary constraints in discussing and analyzing university events. Instead, there is a broader history that shapes future developments, and to truly appreciate what has happened at the university, some knowledge of that history is essential.
