John Graham to lead IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs

April 17, 2008

John D. Graham, a former Harvard faculty member and top official with the White House Office of Management and Budget, has been named dean of the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA).

The appointment, subject to approval by the IU Board of Trustees, takes effect August 1.

Graham has since March 2006 been dean of the Pardee RAND Graduate School in Santa Monica, Calif. Prior to holding that position, he spent five years as administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget.

"It is an honor for me to assume the deanship of one of our nation's finest public affairs programs," Graham said. "I look forward to working with IU SPEA faculty, students and alumni as we address urgent issues such as health care, energy, environment and the loss of manufacturing employment in Indiana and the nation."
