ADMINISTRATIVE EXPERIENCE

Chair, UCLA Department of Political Science 2008-2011

The Department of Political Science is a medium-large department in a major research

university, in the Division of the Social Sciences. It ranks consistently in the top 10 political

science departments in the country among comparable institutions. The department includes 46

faculty members, 10 emeritus professors, 4 visiting faculty, 43 teaching assistants and 14 support

staff. As Chair I provide leadership in curriculum development, graduate programs, the Board of

Visitors, and development. I am responsible for developing several programs designed to improve

the quality and visibility of the department. I am responsible for conducting searches for ladder-

rank faculty as well as visiting faculty. I manage an annual budget of almost $10 million.

Director, Globalization Research Center-Africa 2001-present

The UCLA Globalization Research Center-Africa (GRCA) conducts research on the dynamics

and effects of globalization, with particular emphasis on impacts within Africa. This is done

within the context of collaboration through the Globalization Research Network, involving the

University of Hawaii, the George Washington University, the University of South Florida, and

UCLA. The overall aim of the Center is to engage in research on ways global forces impact

African societies; the ways in which African societies have an impact upon the globalization

process; and the cross national and cross cultural comparison of global processes as they relate to

Africa. This work is policy relevant, and its results are widely distributed to educators,

educational institutions, policy makers and the public at large. The long-term intention is to

develop an institution open to collaboration with and input from different disciplines in

academia, and to partnership with other research endeavors in both the public and private sectors.

It is envisioned that GRCA will be a sharer of resources, within the entire University of

California, but particularly on the UCLA campus, and within academic as well as non-academic

circles. In addition to supporting its own signature projects (Conflict, Conflict Management and

Democracy; the HIV/AIDS in Africa Initiative), GRCA also supports an inter-active web-

based/CD curriculum project on globalization and Africa designed for high school juniors,

conferences and workshops, and faculty and student research.

Director, James S. Coleman African Studies Center, UCLA 1992-2001

Provide leadership for this organized Research Unit, locate and provide funding support for faculty

and graduate research and research travel; write proposals and raise funds for support of the Center

and its programs; organize seminars, workshops, symposia, lectures and discussion groups on

African subjects; manage the African Studies National Resource Center; recruit graduate students

for the African Studies MA program; manage and allocate graduate assistantships and fellowships,

including the federally funded Foreign Language Academic Support (FLAS) program; liaise with

other academic and non-academic units on campus, within the university system, and from other

regional and national organizations. Oversee and manage the Center's publication program.

This position was half-time. The other half of my time was spent fulfilling my duties as a faculty

member doing research and teaching.

Faculty Assistant/Academic Affairs, Office of the President,

University of California 1988-90

Served as a member of the Cabinet of the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, and was

involved in all aspects of the administration of the Office of Academic Affairs at the university

system level. Particular responsibilities include academic planning, long-range strategic planning

for new UC campuses, academic personnel and faculty, and graduate affirmative action matters. I

consulted with and provided staff support for senior level administrators with responsibilities in

these areas, and carried out special assignments as requested. One of my major responsibilities was

to conceptualize and direct the planning for the 1990 All-University Faculty Conference, the first in

15 years. The position of Faculty Assistant was half-time. The remainder of my time was spent as

the Executive Director of the President's Task Force on Black Student Eligibility.

Executive Director, President's Task Force on Black Student Eligibility 1988-90

Edmond J. Keller

Page 6 of 35

After serving as a member of this Task Force for years, I assumed the executive directorship in the

summer of 1988 for a period of 18 months. My primary responsibilities were to provide managerial

leadership in the execution of the Task Force's final year of work on a number of research projects

and in the preparation of a final report and set of recommendations to be presented to the President

of the University and the Regents of the University of California. In addition to managing the day-

to-day activities of the Task Force, I acted as its liaison with national and state organizations, local

civic and community groups, and other units of the University and state higher education

community. Along with my staff, I was involved in background research in support of the Task

Force and was primarily responsible for preparing and disseminating the results of its work.

American Council on Education Fellow, University of California, Los Angeles 1987-88

Worked closely with the Vice Chancellor for Academic Administration and the Vice Chancellor for

Planning. Participated in weekly meetings of senior administrators with the Chancellor, as well as

in periodic meetings of the Chancellor's Cabinet. Served as staff to the Campus-wide Strategic

Planning Committee and the Task Force on University-Industry Relations.

I also participated in regular meetings of the Budget Affairs Council, the Capital Affairs Council,

Student Fee Advisory Committee, and numerous other campus and university committees, which

provided me with valuable insights into the process of shared governance in the University of

California. I gained a sophisticated understanding of the administration of a large research

university.

Associate Dean, Graduate Division, University of California,

Santa Barbara (UCSB) 1984-87

Primarily responsible for the development and administration of programs for the recruitment and

retention of non-minority women and minority graduate students. Provided leadership in the area of

fund raising and program development.

Several innovative programs resulted in significant strides in this area during my tenure. Although

primarily responsible for managing affirmative action programs and fellowships in the division, I

was broadly responsible for the administration of the division in the Dean's absence.

Acting Dean, Graduate Division, UCSB March-June 1985

Continued functions as Associate Dean and added the functions of the Dean. Responsible for all

aspects of the administration of graduate programs. Supervised the administration of admissions,

quality control procedures, fellowships, and student advisement. Served as ex-officio member of the

Graduate Council and provided staff support to the Council. Represented the Dean at public

functions and on the UC Systemwide Council of Graduate Deans.

Chair, Department of Black Studies, UCSB 1983-84

Administered this small department of ten faculty. Provided leadership in curriculum development.

Conducted a search for five faculty positions, prepared promotion and/or tenure dossiers for five

faculty. Developed several programs, designed to improve the quality and visibility of the

department.

Director, Consortium for Institutional Cooperation (CIC) Minorities

Fellowship Program 1982-83

Edmond J. Keller

Page 7 of 35

Housed at Indiana University, Bloomington, this consortium involves all Big Ten universities and

the University of Chicago. As director I managed a multi-million dollar fellowship fund for

minority graduate students in all fields. The funds for the fellowships were provided by three

private foundations. I also managed all of Indiana's minority graduate fellowships, and served as a

member of the Graduate School's management team.
