Lawrence K.
Pettit, LLC
After I retired from the presidency of Indiana University of Pennsylvania
(IUP) , I devoted one year to a not-for-profit organization I had helped create
in 1994, the National Center for Environmental Education and Training (NEETC).
Upon completing the NEETC year, I established a consulting entity, Lawrence K.
Pettit, LLC, and accepted an initial contract from the Commission for Labor
Cooperation, a component of the secretariat for NAFTA, located in Washington,
D.C. 
For the CLC I created a network of experts
from various universities and think tanks in the areas of trade economics, labor
economics, labor law, worker health and safety, and immigration policy.
On completion of this initial project, I turned my
attention to writing a book, and did not accept any further consulting
assignments for the duration of that project. During this time I have also been
a member of the Registry of Retired University Presidents, a membership which
indicates willingness to accept an interim college or university presidency as
time and circumstances permit. With completion of the first draft of the book,
“If You Live By the
Sword: Politics in the Making and Unmaking of the a University
President,” I am once more open to
consulting arrangements, and I remain on the Registry for interim presidencies.
My most recent project was to write an analysis of the implications of the Virginia Tech
tragedy for the American Association of State Colleges and
Universities.
In late 2008 I signed on as a Senior Consultant with an executive search
firm, EFL Associates, headquartered in Kansas City, to facilitate presidential
and other executive searches for colleges and universities. The EFL contact
