John A. Fallon

John A. Fallon III is the former president of Eastern Michigan University. Dr. Fallon began his tenure at EMU on July 18, 2005 after serving as president of SUNY Potsdam and William Penn College. He had been appointed by the EMU Board of Regents in March of 2005. Fallon was fired by Eastern Michigan University on July 15, 2007. cite news|first=John|last=Holusha|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/16/us/16cnd-emu.html?hp|title=University Chief Fired Over Handling of Crime|work=New York Times|date=2007-07-16|accessdate=2007-07-16] Although the university did not state a reason for his firing, it is believed to have been related to Fallon's handling of the death of Laura Dickinson. Dickinson, an Eastern Michigan University student, was found dead in her dormitory on December 15, 2006. Fallon and other university officials initially stated that her death was not the result of foul play. That initial statement was proven wrong after another student at university was arrested for Dickinson's rape and murder.

Fallon recently sued EMU to try and regain his old position, alleging the board of regents used Dickinson's death to oust him before he could go public with allegations surrounding their "culture of secrecy." cite news|first=Robin|last=Erb|url=http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071012/NEWS02/710120345/1004/NEWS02|title=Fired EMU president sues to get job back|work=Detroit Free Press|date=2007-10-12|accessdate=2007-10-22]

Fallon grew up in Michigan and attended three of the states public universities. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in education from Western Michigan University, followed by a master's degree in educational administration from Northern Michigan University, and a doctorate in educational administration from Michigan State University. He also served on the faculties at Ball State University and Saginaw Valley State University.
