Michael A. McRobbie served as the 18th president of Indiana University from July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2021. Prior to stepping down from the IU presidency, he was among the country's longest-serving presidents of a major public research university.

He was appointed university chancellor on July 1, 2021, the position held by IU's legendary Herman Wells from 1962 to 2000. McRobbie is only the third person to be appointed to this position in IU's 200-year history. This appointment recognized his extensive past achievements and contributions to IU, and anticipates his continued work in support of the university's core missions. He also holds the titles of president emeritus and university professor.
