The University of Michigan–Dearborn (UM-Dearborn) is a public university in Dearborn, Michigan, United States. Founded in 1959 with a gift from the Ford Motor Company, it was initially known as the Dearborn Center, operating as a remote branch of the University of Michigan.[5] Upon receiving its own accreditation in 1970, the branch became a fully-fledged university and subsequently changed its name to the University of Michigan–Dearborn. It continues to adhere to the policies of the University of Michigan Board of Regents without having a separate governing board.[6]

UM-Dearborn is one of the thirteen master's universities in the State of Michigan. Located in Metro Detroit, UM-Dearborn is also known for its community engagement within the region. Together with Oakland University, the University of Michigan-Flint, and Wayne State University, UM-Dearborn is one of the four Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU) members in the State of Michigan.[7]

The university's athletic teams are the Michigan-Dearborn Wolverines. They primarily compete in the Wolverine–Hoosier Athletic Conference. The University of Michigan-Dearborn Fieldhouse, opened in 1978, serves as the home to the men's and women's basketball teams. Notable alumni include the former COO of Ford Motor Company Kumar Galhotra, former chair of the Michigan Republican Party Saul Anuzis, and former member of the Michigan House of Representatives George Darany.

History

[edit]

Dearborn Center of the University of Michigan

[edit]

The story of UM-Dearborn begins with in the mid-1950s with Archie Pearson, the director of training at Ford Motor Company. Pearson conducted studies that revealed a looming shortage of college-educated engineers and junior administrators within the company's future workforce. As a result, Pearson discreetly reached out to higher education institutions in Metro Detroit, inquiring about their willingness to adapt their programs to align with the anticipated requirements of the automotive industry.[8]

On December 17, 1956, the Ford Motor Company gifted both land and capital development funds to the Regents for the creation of a remote branch of the university offering upper-division undergraduate and master's level programs.[9] In February 1957, the Regents of the University of Michigan officially accepted the gifts and committed to establishing a branch in Dearborn known as the Dearborn Center of the University of Michigan.[10]

The Dearborn Center would also have a cooperative work-study requirement for its programs in business administration and engineering,[9] which were intended to provide students with real-world experience that would increase their employment prospects.[11] The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor would provide the necessary liberal arts and professional courses to complete a University of Michigan bachelor's or master's degree.[9] Construction on the Dearborn Center began on May 22, 1958,[11] and on October 1 of that year, William E. Stirton was appointed its first director.[12]

The branch opened with an enrollment of 34 students on September 28, 1959.[13] A liberal arts division and programs in electrical engineering and teacher education were added in fall 1960.[14] The first 12 graduates on January 20, 1962.[15] In 1963, the branch was renamed the Dearborn Campus of the University of Michigan, to emphasize that it was a free-standing unit of the university.[16]

In May 1969, the Dearborn Campus Planning Study Committee released their report on the future of the institution, which recommended the addition of lower-division undergraduate courses and the expansion of non-cooperative programs.[17] In November 1969, the regents formally approved the committee's recommendations.[18]

Proposal for an independent "Fairlane University"

[edit]

In February 1970, the Committee on Colleges and Universities of the Michigan House of Representatives discussed a bill to separate the Dearborn campus from the University of Michigan, proposing its establishment as an independent institution named "Fairlane University." This initiative, reflecting a national trend toward expanding higher education, faced strong opposition from faculty and students in Dearborn, leading to its eventual failure.[19]

In the same year, Oakland University gained institutional independence from Michigan State University, evolving into an autonomous research university. Meanwhile, the Dearborn campus continued to grow under the policies of the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan, receiving independent accreditation in August 1970 and officially being renamed in April 1971. However, this continued affiliation with the University of Michigan would prevent this newly fledged university from having its own governing board.

This period of proposed restructuring was not unique to Michigan. In 1972, a similar process occurred in Virginia, where George Mason College was separated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and renamed George Mason University.

University of Michigan–Dearborn

[edit]

Leonard E. Goodall (1971 until 1979)

[edit]

In August 1970, the Dearborn campus received its first accreditation independent from the Ann Arbor campus, from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.[20] In April 1971, it was officially renamed the University of Michigan–Dearborn (UM–Dearborn).[18] In July of that year, Leonard E. Goodall, the vice-chancellor of the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, was appointed UM–Dearborn's first chancellor.[20] In the fall of 1971, the university officially became a four-year institution as it welcomed its first freshman class.[21] There were 313 freshmen in that first class and overall enrollment grew by 50% to 1,369.[22] University enrollment grew rapidly during the course of the decade, exceeding 6,000 in 1979.[23] UM–Dearborn announced both a $19 million campus development plan and the creation of its Alumni Society in November 1973.[24][25]

Between 1978 and 1980, three major new buildings were opened on campus: the Fieldhouse and Ice Arena, the University Library, and the University Mall. These additions caused the center of campus to shift south of UM–Dearborn's original four buildings.[26]

William A. Jenkins (1980 until 1988)

[edit]

In July 1980, University of Colorado Denver acting chancellor William A. Jenkins was named the second chancellor of UM–Dearborn.[26] He soon faced a major financial crisis on campus that stemmed from a recession in the state, which resulted in a $500,000 cut from the university's base budget in April 1981.[26] Also in 1981, history professor Sidney Bolkosky established the Holocaust Survivor Oral History Project at UM–Dearborn.[27] In the fall of 1983, minority enrollment on campus reached a record high of 9.6%.[28] The university received a 13.2% increase in its annual appropriation from the state legislature in 1984–85, which enabled it to restore the 3% salary raises that it had cut in 1981–82.[29] In May 1986, UM–Dearborn opened its Armenian Research Center, the first university-affiliated institution of its kind.[30]

Blenda J. Wilson (1988 until 1992)

[edit]

In November 1988, Blenda Wilson was inaugurated as the third chancellor of UM–Dearborn.[31] In September 1989, the university began its $11.6 million General Campus Renovation Project, entirely funded by the State of Michigan. In summer 1990, the university terminated its varsity ice hockey program, resulting in head coach Tom Anastos and athletic director Sid Fox announcing their departures from Dearborn.[32] In October, Wilson announced that hockey would become a club sport and the university's basketball and women's volleyball teams would compete in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).[33] In April 1991, graduate enrollment at UM–Dearborn exceeded 1,000 for the first time, and in July of that year revenue from tuition surpassed state appropriations.[34] In May 1992, Wilson announced her resignation to take a position at California State University.

James C. Renick (1993 until 1999)

[edit]

In January 1993, James C. Renick was inaugurated as the university's fourth chancellor.[35] In fall 1995 and again in fall 1996, the university achieved new total enrollment records (8,214 and 8,324, respectively).[36] In March 1997, UM–Dearborn inaugurated the first graduate program in its College of Arts, Sciences, & Letters (CASL), a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies degree.[37] In March 1999, the university's FUTURES Planning Resource Council released its recommendation that UM–Dearborn's "top priority is being nationally regarded as an excellent regional university" and argued this should be achieved by "developing interdisciplinary centers of teaching and research excellence".[38]

Daniel E. Little (2000 until 2018)

[edit]

In November 2000, Daniel E. Little was inaugurated as the university's fifth chancellor.[39] In 2001, both the Environmental Interpretive Center and the CASL Building were opened on campus.[40] In fall of 2003, university enrollment topped 9,000 for the first time (9,022) and graduate enrollment reached 25% of total enrollment.[41] In September of that year, the university acquired the Fairlane Training Center from Ford, located across Evergreen Road from its main campus, which it renamed the Fairlane Center in February 2004. In November 2003, the renovated University Center (formerly the University Mall) was opened.[41] In October 2006, UM–Dearborn dedicated its new Science Learning and Research Center.[42] In November 2008, the Regents of the University of Michigan approved the first doctoral programs at UM–Dearborn, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in Automotive Systems Engineering and Information Systems Engineering, both to begin the following fall.[43] In February 2009, the regents approved a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) program. In May of that year, they announced the renaming of the School of Management as the College of Business.[44] In 2008, Kiplinger ranked UM–Dearborn 86th nationally in its "Best Values in Public Colleges",[43] while in 2009 U.S. News & World Report ranked it the fourth-best master's-level university in the Midwest.[45]

In September 2013, The Union at Dearborn opened, with its 145 apartments providing the first on-campus student housing since the 1970s.[46] Also that month, UM–Dearborn's School of Education was renamed the College of Education, Health and Human Services.[47] In December 2015, UM–Dearborn conferred its 50,000 cumulative degree.[48] In September 2016, the university's Natural Sciences Building reopened after a $51 million renovation.[49] In April 2018, UM–Dearborn broke ground on a new, $90 million Engineering Lab Building.[50] In 2018, Daniel E. Little resigned as chancellor.[51]

Domenico Grasso (2018 until present)

[edit]

In August 2018, Domenico Grasso was inaugurated as university's sixth chancellor.[52][53]

Campus

[edit]

The UM–Dearborn campus is located on the former estate of Henry Ford.[54][55] It is divided into several sections: The Henry Ford Estate, known as Fair Lane, The Fairlane Center, Main Campus, and the Early Childhood Education Center just south of campus. In addition, the university has over 70 acres (283,000 m2) of nature preserve and a bird observatory, the Rouge River Bird Observatory, which has operated on campus since its founding in 1992, and is the longest-running, full-time urban bird research station in North America.[56]

Main Campus includes the facilities for the College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters (CASL), the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS), the Environmental Interpretive Center, Administration, the Mardigian Library, the Institute for Advanced Vehicle Studies, the University Center, the Computing Building, and the Fieldhouse. Within both CASL and CECS, many different buildings house different programs, departments, research centers, student life centers, and academic resources.[citation needed]

Fair Lane and the nature preserve west of campus are along the Rouge River. There is a small waterfall, rose garden, meadow, a lake, and reflecting pond surrounded by acres of forest. The forest has many walking paths which connect the Environmental Interpretive Center, Henry Ford Community College, Downtown West Dearborn, Hines Drive, the university's Main Campus, and Fair Lane together. Fair Lane recently has been handed over to Edsel and Eleanor Ford House. The Edsel Ford Estate will put forth restoration efforts which will cost 50 million dollars or more. The majority of the funding will go towards full home restoration and grounds preservation. The project will open up rooms which had been unavailable to public tours before.[citation needed]

Organization

[edit]

Administration

[edit]
Domenico Grasso, the incumbent Chancellor of the University of Michigan–Dearborn

UM-Dearborn, historically a branch of the University of Michigan, has operated under the policies of the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan since its accreditation in 1970. The Board of Regents, as the governing body, is responsible for the appointment of the university president, who presides over the Board's meetings but does not have voting rights. Instead of directly managing the university's operations, the university president recommends the appointment of a chancellor, who is subject to approval by the Board of Regents and is tasked with overseeing the day-to-day administrative duties of the university as its chief executive officer.
