Tun Abdul Razak Chair

In 1979 the Tun Abdul Razak Chair was established. This endowed chair brings an eminent Malaysian scholar to Ohio University every two years for teaching and research in their chosen field. The current Razak Chair is Dr. Dato' Mohamad Abu Bakar, a professor with the Department of International and Strategic Studies, Universiti Malaya. The Razak Chair is supported by funds from the Malaysian Government and United States firms with business interests in Malaysia. An important aspect of this endowment is the provision of funding for the purchase of library materials.
