   Douglas Tuttle to join public administration institute
     Douglas Tuttle, director of public safety since 1985
and a member of the department since 1972, will join the
Institute for Public Administration as a policy scientist,
effective April 1.
     Tuttle is a recognized national leader in the area of
campus safety. As a speaker, workshop instructor and
consultant, he has addressed the safety concerns of higher
education professionals from a broad range of institutions
in the U.S. and Canada.
     In his new position in the Institute for Public
Administration, he will offer his expertise in the areas of
professional training and development, intergovernmental
relations and improvement of management practices.
     "My 25 years with the Department of Public Safety have
gone quickly," Tuttle said. "The time and opportunity seem
right, as the Institute for Public Administration is about
to become part of the new College of Human Resources,
Education and Public Policy under the leadership of Dan
Rich. I am excited about the prospects for personal and
professional growth, and welcome the challenge of serving
the University of Delaware in a new capacity."
     Maxine Colm, vice president for administration, said,
"I am pleased that Doug Tuttle has an opportunity to expand
his professional horizons. I'm confident he will make a
significant contribution to the new college, just as he has
for the past 25 years in the Department of Public Safety."
     Rich said he is pleased Tuttle is joining the
institute. "The institute will benefit greatly from Doug's
skill and experience in administration and public affairs,
and from his demonstrated ability to work effectively with
practitioners in our state and nation," Rich said. "These
qualities provide a firm foundation for important and
sustained contributions to our programs of public service in
the areas of professional training and development,
intergovernmental relations and improvement of management
practices," he added.
     Tuttle is immediate past president of the International
Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators
(IACLEA), and he served as that organization's government
relations chairperson from 1989-93. During that time, he
testified before the U.S. House Subcommittee on
Postsecondary Education concerning the Student Right-To-Know
and Campus Security Act of 1990 and 1996. He is the author
of a guide to that statute entitled The Crime Awareness and
Campus Security Act of 1990: Strategies for Compliance,
published by IACLEA in 1991.
     He represented campus law enforcement on the Advisory
Board for the recent College Alcohol Study, conducted by the
Harvard School of Public Health, and he is a member of the
Advisory Board for the Consortium for Higher Education
Campus Crime Research.
     A graduate of the FBI National Academy, Tuttle received
his B.A. and his Master of Public Administration degrees
from UD.
