Bob McTeer is a distinguished fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis. Prior to his current position, Dr. McTeer was chancellor of the Texas A&M University System from November 2004 to November 2006. Before becoming chancellor, he had a 36-year career with the Federal Reserve, including 14 years as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and member of the Federal Open Market Committee. As a Fed policy maker, Dr. McTeer gained a national reputation as an independent voice, dissenting from the Alan Greenspan majority twice in 1999 and once in 2002. His free market views in general and vigorous support of free trade in particular gave the Dallas Fed its reputation during his tenure as "The Free Enterprise Fed." Dr. McTeer taught economics as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Richmond, Virginia Commonwealth University, and for ten years, at The Johns Hopkins University. He serves on the boards of directors of two public companies and two private companies. Dr. McTeer is a former member of the Board of Overseers for UGA's Terry College of Business, where he was named Distinguished Alumnus in 1991. He is a past president of the Association of Private Enterprise Education, a national association of free enterprise scholars and others who advocate market solutions to public policy problems and a former member of the National Council on Economic Education. Dr. McTeer is a frequent guest on CNBC, Bloomberg TV and Bloomberg Radio, and the FOX News Network and has published numerous opinion pieces in the Wall Street Journal and other publications. Dr. McTeer got his BBA and PhD in economics from the University of Georgia and taught there for two years before joining the Fed in 1968. His graduate education was financed by a National Defense Education Act (NDEA) fellowship. Dr. McTeer also holds an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters from Austin College.
