Biographical Note
Thomas Ehrlich became president of Indiana University on August 1, 1987. During his
presidency he concentrated on an academic agenda to enhance IU's position as an
international research university of the first rank, and simultaneously a national leader in
reaching out to higher education's emerging new majority of nontraditional students. Ehrlich
is a scholar, educator, university administrator, lawyer, and governmental executive. He was
Provost (chief academic officer responsible for all educational research components of the
university and all aspects of student affairs) and Professor of Law at the University of
Pennsylvania before serving as President at Indiana.
In the 1970s Ehrlich was Dean and Richard E. Lang Professor at the Stanford University Law
School; first President of Legal Services Corporation in Washington D.C.; and first Director
of the International Development Cooperation Agency, also in Washington D.C. After
graduating from law school, President Ehrlich served as a law clerk for highly respected
Judge Learned Hand of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City.
Ehrlich became chair of the Midwest Universities Consortium for International Activities'
Big Ten Council of Presidents on July 1, and served on the boards of several national
organizations. He has undertaken a number of special responsibilities for the United States
government. In 1991 he was appointed by President Bush to the Board of Directors of the
Commission on National and Community Service. He was reappointed in 1992 and served as
Chairman of the Board. He also served as the executive-committee chair of Campus Compact, an
organization of college and university presidents, formed to promote student volunteer
service.
He was graduated magna cum laude from both Harvard College (A.B. 1956) and Harvard Law
School (LL.B. 1959). He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and served as Article Editor for the
Harvard Law Review. He has three honorary degrees, from Notre Dame (1980), Villanova
University (1979), and the University of Pennsylvania (1987), and is author or co-author of
several books and many articles.
In addition to his presidential duties at Indiana University, President Ehrlich served as
professor of law and regularly taught undergraduates and law students. His tenure as
president ended following the 1994 school year. President Ehrlich and his wife, Ellen Rome
Ehrlich, have three children, David, Elizabeth, and Paul. *Biography excerpted from 1993
