KENNETH C. GREEN is the founding director of The Campus Computing Project, the largest continuing study of the role of information technology in American colleges and universities. The project is widely cited by both campus officials and corporate executives as a definitive source for data, information, and insight about information technology planning and policy issues affecting American higher education. Green is the author/co-author or editor of a dozen books and published research reports and more than three dozen articles that have appeared in academic journals and professional publications. He is often quoted on higher education, information technology, and labor market issues in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Education, and other print and broadcast media. An invited speaker at some two dozen academic conferences and professional meetings each year, Green is also the co-executive producer and on-air host of the award-winning Ready2Net programs, a series of satellite broadcasts and Webcasts, sponsored by the California State University-Monterey Bay and focused on the challenges and opportunities that information technology presents to American higher education. In October 2002, Green received the first EDUCAUSE Award for Leadership in Public Policy and Practice. The award cites his work in creating The Campus Computing Project and recognizes his "prominence in the arena of national and international technology agendas, and the linking of higher education to those agendas." In addition to his current work with The Campus Computing Project, Green often serves as a consultant on campus planning, policy, and technology issues. His corporate clients and project sponsors in the information technology and publishing industries include Adobe, Apple, BearingPoint, Blackboard, Cengage Learning, Cisco Systems, Dell Computer, Google, Houghton Mifflin, IBM, Jenzabar, Lenovo, McGraw Hill, Microsoft, Oracle, Nuance Communications, NTI Group, Pearson Education, PerceptIS, Rave Wireless, rSmart, SAS, SunGard Higher Education, Sun Microsystems, Thomson Learning, and TouchNet, among others. A graduate of New College in Sarasota, Florida, Green completed his master's degree at the Ohio State University and earned his Ph.D. at the University of California, Los Angeles. From 1989 to 1994, Green was a senior research associate (1989-1991) and later director (1991-1994) of The James Irvine Foundation Center for Scholarly Technology at the University of Southern California. Prior to his affiliation with USC, Green held concurrent appointments from 1983-1989 as the associate director of UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute and as the associate director the American Council on Education/UCLA Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP), the nation's largest and oldest empirical study of higher education.
