000042707 520__ $$aDr. James Huntzicker is a Professor in the Division of Management at OHSU. After growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan and completing undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan, Huntzicker earned a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Huntzicker briefly taught at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur before accepting a position at the Oregon Graduate Institute (OGI) in 1974, specializing in Environmental Science. At OGI, Huntzicker held several administrative positions, including Head of the Department of Environmental Technology, Provost, and Acting President. Huntzicker remained at OGI through its merger with OHSU in 2001 and the eventual closure of the OGI campus in 2014. In this interview, Huntzicker looks back on his career and discusses his various roles at OGI. He gives special attention to the persistent financial issues that plagued the Institute during its existence and the administration’s attempts to alleviate them, including offering lucrative graduate programs, starting a ‘science park’ to attract paying visitors, receiving money from wealthy donors, and, eventually, merging with OHSU. Huntzicker also describes his experiences living and working in Kanpur, India during the beginning of the Bangladesh Liberation War.
