Background

Dr. John J. Cheslock obtained his Ph.D. in Labor Economics from Cornell University in 2001. During graduate school, he minored in education and applied econometrics and served as a research assistant at the Cornell Higher Education Research Institute (CHERI). From 2001-2009, he was on the faculty of the Center for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Arizona.

Dr. Cheslock's research focuses on the economics of higher education with a special interest in enrollment management, faculty labor markets, intercollegiate athletics, and the use of quantitative methods within educational research. His current research projects examine the changing structure of institutional financial aid, the growing stratification in faculty salaries, the impact of Title IX on intercollegiate athletics, and the use of multilevel models in educational research.
