Executive Transactions
Indiana Univ. named FRED GLASS AD, effective January 2, 2009. Glass will replace RICK GREENSPAN, who resigned in June but will stay on as AD through December 31. Most recently, Glass worked at the law firm Baker & Daniels and prior that served as Chief of Staff for former Indiana Gov. EVAN BAYH. Glass will earn $410,000 per year, up from the $300,000 Greenspan earned annually. Glass said of his experience as Bayh's Chief of Staff, “I built budgets and cut budgets. I hired people and fired people. I recruited agency heads and I canned agency heads. That’s a rigorous job and probably the best training for anything you could ever do in your life.” Glass plans to spend the next two months "meeting people in Bloomington and being visible in the community" (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 10/29).
