[edit] Robert Engler died recently

Robert Engler died recently. Someone needs to update the categories. As of 3/3/2007, no obituary had yet appeared in the New York Times or on the CUNY Graduate Center web site, http://www.gc.cuny.edu/

This email was sent on 3/1/2007 to a CUNY listserv:

I regret to inform you that Robert Engler, a long-term political science faculty member at the Graduate Center, recently passed away. Prof. Engler, born in 1922, received his undergraduate degree from CCNY, and his graduate degrees from the University of Wisconsin. He was appointed to the staff of Queens College in 1964, later moved to Brooklyn College, and held visiting appointments, at various points, at the University of Puerto Rico, University of Saskatchewan, the American University in Cairo, and Princeton. Prof. Engler was the author of The Brotherhood of Oil (University of Chicago, 1977), and of The Politics of Oil: Private Power and Democratic Directions (Macmillan, 1961), among other works. He was a recipient of the Sidney Hillman Foundation's prize for political writing, and of a number of other fellowships and awards. Our condolences to his widow and children.

Sincerely, Jack Jacobs

According to the CUNY Graduate Center web pages, Professor Jack Jacobs is currently the Acting Executive Officer of the Ph.D./M.A. Program in Political Science, and is Professor of Government at CUNY’s John Jay College.
