Michael Vincent Drake (born July 9, 1951)[1] is an American university administrator and physician. In 2014, he became the current president of The Ohio State University. From 2005 to 2014, he was the chancellor of the University of California, Irvine. During his tenure, UC Irvine was named one of Sierra magazine's "top ten coolest schools" for its sustainability efforts [1] and recognized for increasing minority enrollment. [2] While UC Irvine chancellor, Drake fired and rehired legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky as dean of the then-new UC Irvine school of law. At Ohio State, Drake has been criticized for firing band director Jon Waters after a report criticized the band's "sexualized culture."

Note: As an employee at Ohio State, I have a COI. Please consider content below that includes his positive accomplishments, including his leadership at the national level, which is not currently included. I have also reviewed about 20 university president bios. None of them is constructed like this one. Can we delete the mentions of the firings under the opening since they are already mentioned under their respective universities so as not to be redundant?

Move under University of California, Irvine chancellorship to replace first line:
While UC Irvine chancellor, Drake fired and rehired legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky as dean of the then-new UC Irvine school of law.
Add under University of California, Irvine chancellorship: In 2014, he became the 27th person to be awarded the University of California Presidential Medal. [6]

I acknowledge a possible COI because I work at Ohio State. I would like to include President Drake's appointments to national higher education organizations in his biography. I am referencing third party sources as you suggested. Thanks for your consideration.

I am not being paid to update Wikipedia; however, I am employed by Ohio State Communications. I am trying to update President Drake's bio using facts such as his election to the National Academy of Medicine and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He does serve on the board and membership committees of the Association of American Universities and as chair of the Council of Presidents of the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. The AAU and APLU are the country's largest organizations of higher education and are therefore relevant to his bio. Likewise, he was elected to two national academic organizations. This is not promotional or editorializing; it is fact. I attempted to verify these facts by citing the web sites of the organizations. Next I tried to verify by citing third-party media sources that also cite these qualifications. Do you have a suggestion on how I would appropriately cite these facts -- or do these need to be proposed by someone not affiliated with Ohio State? I have attempted to abide by the guidelines by reporting my affiliation, which I've done, and then submitting edits for consideration.
I see that other college presidents are able to include traditional biographical details - without any attribution -- such as election to national academic organizations. Example: Ono has been elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Academy of Inventors, the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars, the Royal Society of Medicine, the Royal Society of Chemistry and Fellow of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BA).
Please advise on how to proceed. Thank you. Deb

Thank you for your feedback. Very helpful.
Acknowledging that I do work at Ohio State, but I am not being paid to edit Wikipedia, please consider this update to the Chemerinsky section, which currently ends in 2007:
In January 2014, after Dr. Drake was announced as the new Ohio State president, Chemerinsky said that "any initial tension had long faded," and that he and Dr. Drake routinely taught a Civil Rights course together. He also reported that he told Ohio State's presidential search committee that "I don't think you can find a better campus president anywhere else in the country." [5]

Ohio State University presidency On January 30, 2014, The Ohio State University Board of Trustees named Dr. Drake as the 15th president of The Ohio State University. He began his tenure at the university on June 30, 2014.[11] At the time of his appointment, he was part of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, and the NCAA board of directors.[12]
On December 8, 2014, Dr. Drake announced Dr. Sheldon Retchin, former head of the Virginia Commonwealth University Health System and senior vice president for health sciences, as CEO and university executive vice president for health sciences, over the hospitals and medical school. [1]
In March 2015, Drake was appointed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame board.[13]
In June 2015, Dr. Drake announced the new President’s Affordability program to provide aid to more than 12,000 low- and middle-income undergraduate students from Ohio. [2]
At his State of the University Address in November 2015, he announced that the need-based grant program will expand to approximately 15,700 students for 2016-17, including students at Ohio State’s regional campuses in Lima, Marion, Mansfield, Newark and Wooster. The total investment in the President’s Affordability Grant program over two years is now $35 million. [3]

@ Vjmlhds: the source you provide does not support the sentence "He served as Director of Admissions at UCSF medical school and sat on the resident selection committee for the Department of Ophthalmology prior to his appointment at the Office of the President." or the assertion that Drake "continued to hold his long-held appointment at University of California, San Francisco in the department of ophthalmology" while working at the UC systemwide office. Furthermore, as a press relations biography, it is not a reliable source.
Additionally, the athletics sections of the article are not relevant to the article's subject. The universities Drake has been in charge of are very large and every single event that occurs at these places are not directly attributable to him. Unless reliable sources discuss Drake's direct involvement, as they do with the personnel issues, these topics are out of scope at this page; if anywhere, they belong on the university's articles.
Once someone has objected to your edits by reverting them, the appropriate action is to initiate talk page discussion, not edit war as you have done. Regards, James( talk/ contribs) 23:50, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
