Return to Recent Appointments

Auerbach Associates is pleased to announce that Teachers College has named Harvey Spector as its new Vice President for Finance and Administration, effective June 4, 2007.

Spector, a native New Yorker who served as deputy budget director in New York City's Office of Management and Budget under Mayor Koch in the late 1980s, will leave his current post as Vice President for Finance and Operations at Fashion Institute of Technology, where he served for the past decade. During that period, he led the restructuring of almost every administrative service area within the college to improve operating effectiveness, meet changing regulatory requirements, and improve service to students and employees. Spector also managed a construction program that produced three new campus buildings, including a conference center and a 1,200-bed residence that doubled the school's residential student population.

Spector holds master's degrees in public administration and city and regional planning from Ohio State University. Prior to his work at FIT, he was director of Management and Budget for the New York City Transit Authority and a special advisor to the New York State Financial Control Board.
