Michael Schwartz (July 29, 1937 – January 2, 2024) was an American academic administrator who served as president of Kent State University and later in the same position at Cleveland State University (CSU). While at CSU he phased out open admissions for college undergraduates.
Schwartz implemented major reforms while at CSU. New dorms were built, a new student center and new administration buildings. There were also major renovations of class room buildings. He not only implemented admission requirements, but he also oversaw a major rise in the bar passing rate of Cleveland-Marshall School of Law graduates. One of his last acts as president was to recommend a salary freeze for the next fiscal year.[2]
Schwartz died on January 2, 2024, at the age of 86.[3]
