Sunday, 07 August 2005
I am a Professor at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, teaching Law and Public Policy. I am also a member of IUPUI’s Philanthropic Studies faculty, a Faculty Fellow with both the Center for Religion and American Culture in the School of Liberal Arts and the Tobias Center of the Kelley School of Business, and an adjunct professor of political science.
 
I have practiced real estate, administrative and business law in Indianapolis, Indiana, served as the city’s Corporation Counsel, and in 1980, was the Republican candidate for Indiana’s then 11th Congressional District seat. I was President of Kennedy Development Services, a real estate development company, from 1987-1992, when I became Executive Director of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union, a position I held until I joined the faculty of SPEA in 1998.
 
I have written or edited several books and book chapters. In addition to my articles for scholarly journals and law reviews, for several years I have been a regular columnist for the Indianapolis Star and The Indiana Word and a frequent contributor to other periodicals.
 
For those who are interested in more detail, a complete C.V. is posted here.
 
This website has been designed and is maintained by one of my sons, whose patience with and tolerance for his mother’s technological disabilities is greatly appreciated.
