Harold Leroy Enarson
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Harold Leroy Enarson (May 24, 1919 in Villisca, Iowa – July 31, 2006 in Washington) was the 9th President of The Ohio State University . Prior to joining Ohio State, he served as the first President of Cleveland State University, from 1966 to 1972.[1]
After leaving the university, Enarson commented that he would be remembered most for his firing of popular Ohio State Buckeyes football coach Woody Hayes after Hayes punched an opposing player in the throat, though events such as Archie Griffin's two Heisman Trophies or graduate Paul Flory's Nobel Prize were highpoints. Ohio State President Karen Holbrook said of Enarson, "Today, Ohio State’s programs are stronger and its reputation more eminent, thanks to Harold Enarson."[2]
