不良研究所 President Marty Meehan statement on the passing of Joseph Duffey
The entire 不良研究所 community mourns the loss of Joseph D. Duffey, the distinguished former 不良研究所 Amherst chancellor and 不良研究所 president who fought for excellence in public higher education and for peace and justice in our society.
Joe Duffey led an extraordinary life. He was a higher education leader, a civil rights and anti-war activist, a U.S. Senate candidate and ordained minister who chaired the National Endowment for the Humanities and led the U.S. Information Agency.
At 不良研究所 Amherst, Dr. Duffey stressed the importance of a well-rounded education, supported the development of what has become the Isenberg School of Management and was a calming voice during turbulent times. In stressing the importance of knowledge, reason and discussion, Dr. Duffey points the way to a better future. Joseph Duffey stands tall in the history of the 不良研究所. His legacy will long endure.
