Organizational Dynamics' Steven F. Freeman Awarded Louis O. Kelso Fellowship

Steven F. Freeman, Resident Scholar and Affiliated Faculty in the Organizational Dynamics Program in SAS, has received a Louis O. Kelso Fellowship. Freeman is a prominent teacher of organizational resilience, entrepreneurship and innovation. He has studied resilience and innovation in the U.S. auto industry, and he conducted a widely acclaimed study on the comeback of one of the firms hardest hit by the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Freeman has also published extensively on election fraud, and he is the lead author of Was the 2004 Presidential Election Stolen? Exit Polls, Election Fraud, and the Official Count. In 2004, he founded Election Integrity (EI), a non-partisan organization established to verify vote counts and expose election fraud, including fraudulent machine counts, media exit poll manipulation and anti-trust collusive behavior in U.S. election processes. Freeman's current research focuses on employee ownership.

The Louis O. Kelso Fellowships, administered by Rutgers University, are awarded to outstanding scholars studying the topic of broadened ownership of capital in the United States.
