Ohio. The current President is Michael Schwartz, who was previously president

The YMCA program was formalized in 1881, reorganized in 1906 as the Association Institute, and later became the Cleveland Y.M.C.A. School of Technology. The Cleveland School of Technology was renamed Fenn College in 1929. Fenn College is named after Sereno Peck Fenn. Fenn College expanded over the years, taking over several buildings in the area including Fenn Tower, Stilwell Hall, and Foster Hall. On December 18, 1964 the state of Ohio founded The Cleveland State University. After months of negotiations The Cleveland State University took over the faculty, staff, and programs of Fenn College on September 1, 1965. Industrialist James J. Nance served as the first Board of Trustees Chairperson. The name would later be changed to simply Cleveland State University. |

Since the appointment of Dr. Michael Schwartz as University President, Cleveland
State has transformed its role in the community and the region, in particular as
an economic development engine. Schwartz and the Provost have begun implementing
their vision for the school to move it from an overall fourth tier university
in the US News and World Report rankings, to that of a second tier university
with world class research programs. As part of this change, CSU has ended its
policy of open admissions, instituted an honors program, begun the process of
seeking funding to boost its faculty size and prestige, and created a master plan
for the campus, rebuilding the university as a residential metropolitan campus
in the heart of downtown Cleveland. |
