Jeffrey Kittay
Founding Editor in Chief, UniversityBusiness

Jeffrey Kittay received a Ph.D. in French literature in 1975 and became an assistant professor at Yale University. Having published various scholarly works, he left Yale in 1982 to help take care of a family business. He continued his scholarship, however, and also became one of the founders, and the managing director, of the National Music Theater Network, which finds and sponsors original theatrical material.

In the late 80's, he decided to launch a magazine that would cover both the cerebral culture and the nitty-gritty professional aspects of academic life. Lingua Franca debuted in 1990 and three years later won the magazine industry's highest honor, the National Magazine Award for General Excellence. It has also won awards from Folio magazine and The Utne Reader.

Lingua Franca probes the scholarly side of the higher education enterprise, from an independent and streetwise point of view. Jeffrey Kittay is now launching a second magazine treating the business side of the enterprise from the same perspective: University Business.

He is the recipient of the Alumni Achievement Award of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences of New York University. The trustees of Amherst College have recently voted to confer upon him an honorary Doctor of Letters degree.
