Biographical / Historical Note
Harold Leroy Enarson (1919-2006) was the ninth president of The Ohio State University. His academic career began when he was named Administrative Vice President at the University of New Mexico in 1960, becoming the Academic Vice President a year later. There he created a four-year medical school, and he developed one of the nation's largest Peace Corps training programs for Latin America. In 1965, he accepted the presidency of the newly established Cleveland State University, a position he would hold until 1972. His presidency of Ohio State University began in 1972, and he immediately went to work to protect the University's funding during a time of state budget cuts. He was also a Professor of Public Policy and Management. He oversaw the establishment of the Departments of Black Studies and Women Studies, the Office of Minority Affairs and the Child Care Center. Enarson retired in 1981.
