Past School of Medicine Faculty President

Candidate’s Statement: I am Associate Professor of Medicine and of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the Division of Nephrology, School of Medicine. My research interests are in cellular mechanisms of acute kidney injury. I have served on IFC and UFC, and on the Executive, Academic Affairs and Budgetary Affairs committees. I currently chair the IFC Research Affairs Committee. I have served as School of Medicine Faculty President. The next IFC President will need to clearly articulate the faculty’s vision for Input’s distinctive role within the University and the State, and to engage the faculty in all the schools to ensure that the faculty’s voice is clearly heard.

Martin Spechler (IR01 Tenured Professor) (Liberal Arts: Economics)

IFC Representative At-Large 1998-06

IUPUI Representative to the UFC 1998-05

IFC Executive Committee

Candidate’s Statement: Now in my 22th year at IUPUI, I have served eleven terms on the IFC (one on its Executive Committee) and seven elected terms on the University Faculty Council, with 100% attendance. My many committee assignments and chairmanships include Faculty Affairs, Budgetary Affairs, and Fringe Benefits. Were I to be elected, I would remain at IUPUI for the last two years before my early retirement. As professor of economics, I have won three teaching awards and published over 100 articles and two books. I have also been a consultant to USAID, the World Bank, the Global Development Network, and the U.S. State Department, traveling several times to Russia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia for applied research. My main priorities as presiding officer of the UFC and president of the IFC would be to assure equity for our campus, increase international contacts and education, and raise support for salaries and research. I know the President and most of the chancellors and top executives of IU and can thus be a strong advocate for our interests as teachers, scholars, and creative artists. I have presided over several organizations in the past and recognize the responsibility of the chair for careful listening and fairness to all.
