In 1961, he graduated from Choate School. At Yale University, he earned a baccalaureate degree in 1965, and a Ph.D. in American history in 1978.[11] As an undergraduate, Fanton directed the Ulysses S. Grant Program, a summer enrichment program for talented students from the inner city.[12] He went on to serve at Yale as associate provost and as an assistant to President Kingman Brewster.[13] He subsequently served as vice president for planning at the University of Chicago.[14] Academic and nonprofit leadershipIn 1982, Fanton was inaugurated president of The New School for Social Research in New York City, a leadership position that he held for 17 years.[15] One of his signature accomplishments as president was the reconnection of The New School to its European roots through assistance provided to dissident scholars in Eastern and Central Europe, many of whom were leaders of human rights organizations in their home countries.[12] After becoming president of the MacArthur Foundation in 1999, he worked to strengthen the organization’s commitment to a variety of issues, including international justice, human rights, peace and security, biodiversity conservation, and community and economic development.[12][16] From 2009 to 2014, Fanton was interim director of the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College.[12] Since July 1, 2014, he has served as the president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the oldest learned societies and independent policy research centers in the United States.[1] He was elected to the Common Cause National Governing Board in 2011.
