President of Oberlin College
The President of Oberlin College is the chief administrator of both Oberlin College and Oberlin Conservatory of Music.[1] Each is appointed by and is responsible to the other members of that body, who delegate to him or her the day-to-day running of the university. The current incumbent is Marvin Krislov, the former Vice President of University of Michigan.[2] As part of Oberlin's inherent mission of a vastly interdisciplinary education, presidents have been chosen from a wide range of fields as diverse as musical performance (Starr), theology (Finney) physics (Fuller), law (Krislov), athletics (Stevenson) and pure mathematics (King). Thus, each president is a qualified academic professor who has the opportunity to teach classes.
