Biography
Robert M. Rosenzweig was born in Detroit on August 27, 1931. He received his bachelor's degree in political science from the
University of Michigan in 1952 and his master's degree the following year. In 1956, he received his Ph.D. in political science
from Yale.
Rosenzweig joined the Stanford University staff in 1962 after serving as an instructor at Yale and Amherst, a Congressional
Fellow of the American Political Science Association, and special assistant to the United States Commissioner of Education.
Rosenzweig started at Stanford as associate dean of the Graduate Division and a lecturer in political science. In 1967, he
was promoted to associate provost by President Wallace Sterling. During this time (1967-68), Rosenzweig also served as the
director for the Center for Research in International Studies.
In May 1971, he was named vice-provost and advisor to President Richard W. Lyman. He held this position until December 1974,
when he became the first vice-president for public affairs. His duties in this position included responsibility for Stanford's
federal, state and community government relations, news and public services, public event programs, and other public affairs
activities.
During his time at Stanford, Rosenzweig was a consultant on international programs to the Ford Foundation and he represented
Stanford within the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU). In 1978, he was elected vice-president
of the AICCU and in 1980 he was elected president. He was also a member of the Committee on International Studies and the
Committee of Fifteen, a joint student-faculty administration group, and he was a director of the Far West Laboratory for Educational
Research and Development.
In 1983, Rosenzweig left Stanford to head the Association of American Universities in Washington, D.C.
