Rudolph Franklin "Rudy" Crew (born September 10, 1950) is an American educator, academic administrator, and former government employee who currently serves as President of Medgar Evers College.[1] A lifelong educator and public school administrator, Crew served as Oregon's first Chief Education Officer in 2012 and 2013.[2] Appointed by Governor John Kitzhaber, Crew oversaw the integrated public education system in Oregon from pre-kindergarten through college and career readiness.

Perhaps his most prominent job was as chancellor of the New York City Department of Education, a position he held from 1995 to 1999.[3] He described John Crew as "second cousin, a former superintendent of the Baltimore schools," and his mentor.[4]
