This article appears to have been compiled from a series of brief mentions in the various references provided. It does not appear to satisfy WP:NACADEMICS or WP:BIO based on the information provided. I don't believe that being given a Fullbright Scholar grant is a 'highly prestigious academic award' (criteria #2) or that the books he has written are 'academic work that has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions' (criteria #4). Essentially this is a non-notable individual that an editor has tried to pass off as notable. Dan arndt (talk) 06:58, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

- Delete. I agree with the nominator that the accomplishments presented in the article, including the Fullbright and the mid-level managerial position at the World Bank, are not enough for notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:10, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
