IU Professor found dead next to parking lot
Not long after rumors of a potential “jumper” spread through campus, a note from the Dean’s Office of the IU Kelley School of Business was sent to Staff and Faculty with the somber news of the passing of Dr, Timothy Baldwin, the chair of the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship and the Randall L. Tobias Distinguished Chair of Leadership at the Kelley School of Business. Dr. Baldwin’s body was found around 6am on Monday morning, adjacent to the Fee Parking Garage. He was 64 years old.
Dr. Baldwin held a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior and an MBA, both from Michigan State University. He was in his 30th year at Indiana University and was frequently recognized for teaching excellence including multiple MBA and Undergraduate Teaching Awards, the Eli Lilly Alumni Teaching Award, the FACET All-University Teaching Award, and the Dow Innovation in Teaching Fellowship. His background included consultation with Cummins Engine, Eli Lilly, FedEx, Whirlpool, and a variety of other organizations in both the public and private sector. He designed and delivered numerous executive education seminars in the US and abroad. His most current book is Developing Management Skills: What Great Managers Know and Do (McGraw-Hill: 2012).
