Mark Emmert Biography

Mark Emmert is one of the most popular and richest Chief Executive Officer who was born on December 16, 1952 in Fife, United States. Emmert is born the 16th of December 1952, in Fife, Washington and attended Fife High School where he graduated in 1971. He was a student at Green River Community College in Auburn, Washington before transferring in the spring of 1973 to the University of Washington, where earned the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1975. He earned an Master of Public Administration in 1976, and an PhD at the age of 1983, from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs of Syracuse University.

Emmert was appointed to his position at the University of Connecticut in 1995 as Provost . He later elevated to the post of the Chancellor for Academic Affairs in charge of academic affairs at the main campus located in Storrs as well as the regional campuses that are part of the University system. He was the head of an effort to plan strategically which resulted in an overall master plan for facilities for the Storrs campus, which transformed the facilities of the campus, with new buildings built for faculty, students, and research. Research funding and enrollment were up during the period. Under his leadership, the university began its first major campaign for fundraising.

Emmert was named Chancellor of LSU in 1999. He led the creation of the “Flagship Agenda,” an effort credited with moving the university significantly forward in its standing as an academic institution, an effort that is still credited with advancing the university in very significant ways. During his tenure the academic preparation of entering freshmen increased substantially. Enrollment from across the country increased as well. LSU’s research profile improved as a result of new research initiatives, particularly in computer science, marine and coastal science, and basic sciences. A number of academic construction projects commenced, including buildings and renovations for music and dramatic arts, marine biology and coastal studies, biology, residence halls, and the student union. Fund raising projects were begun that have resulted in dramatic improvements in the Ogden Honors College, the E.J. Ourso College of Business and the College of Engineering. Improvements were made to athletic facilities, most notably the creation of the Cox Communications Academic Center, renovation and expansion of Tiger Stadium, and a new state- of-the-art enclosure for the campus mascot, Mike the Tiger, that has become a major attraction for visitors to campus. Emmert’s wife, DeLaine Emmert, was very engaged in these fund raising efforts. State support for the university reached a then-historic high during Emmert’s tenure.

Emmert oversaw the first two years of a ten-year-long, $1 billion construction project, UConn 2000, that added many new academic buildings, residence halls and landscape projects to the Storrs campus, and new buildings and facilities to the regional campuses. UConn 2000 is widely credited with transforming the university. Some of the projects became controversial because of charges of mismanagement in the facilities and contracting services. These issues, which included more than $100 million lost due to mismanagement and more than 100 fire and safety code violations, did not come to light during Emmert’s tenure. The vast majority of the projects were begun after Emmert’s tenure. Something handwritten on Emmert’s stationery in 1998 suggested he was aware of construction management challenges. Some of the construction projects later became the focus of a state investigation in 2005. Governor Rell called it “astonishing failure of oversight and management.” Two administrators who oversaw the projects during this time were placed on leave and subsequently resigned six years after Emmert had left the university.

The NCAA has ruled in 1993 that Montana State was guilty of an “lack of institutional control” in 1993, resulting from the behavior of Emmert prior to when he joined MSU. The decision was made in 1993, when Emmert was part of the MSU’s senior management team, as was Jim Isch, a former NCAA official. The matter was related to academic fraud in the case of an assistant coach for men’s basketball and a potential recruit. The NCAA did not decide on the case until Emmert was transferred to UConn at the end of 1995. Emmert did not have any involvement in the athletics programs in his post as provost. He was not aware of the investigation. Neither was he ever accused or accused of any wrongdoing.
