C. Judson King

C. Judson (Jud) King has been with the University of California since 1963. As a Berkeley Chemical Engineering faculty member his research centered on processes for separating homogeneous mixtures in general and solvent extraction, adsorption, spray drying, and freeze-drying in particular. He was simultaneously in university administration, serving as Department Chair, Dean of the College of Chemistry, and Provost – Professional Schools and Colleges at Berkeley, and then for a decade as Senior Vice President and Provost of the University of California as a whole. He then spent another decade as Director of Berkeley’s Center for Studies of Higher Education. This combination of experience led to the 2018 book, “The University of California: Creating, Nurturing, and Maintaining Academic Quality in a Public University Setting”. That book is available in print through Amazon.com, Amazon international sites, and other online vendors. It is also available in Kindle form and as a free pdf download at https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6rj182v7.
