  • Comment: Likely notable per WP:ACADEMIC, but draft lacks multiple examples of significant coverage about Kleingartner in published reliable independent secondary sources. University of California profiles are primary, and works by him don't count. Paul W (talk) 11:49, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

Archie Kleingartner is an American scholar and institutional leader. Professor emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), he served as vice president of the University of California system from 1975 to 1983. He was the founding dean of the UCLA School of Public Policy and Social Research, now the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, and founder and chair emeritus of the UCLA Human Resources Round Table (HARRT).[1]

Early life and education

[edit]

Kleingartner earned a B.A. in sociology from the University of Minnesota in 1959, an M.S. in sociology from the University of Oregon in 1962, and a Ph.D. in industrial relations from the University of Wisconsin in 1965.[1]

Career

[edit]

Kleingartner joined the UCLA faculty in 1964. His research and teaching focused on human resource management, industrial and employee relations, professional worker bargaining, worker productivity, international management, and the management of creative professionals. His later work included U.S.–China economic and business relations.[2]

He served as chairman and associate dean of the UCLA Anderson School of Management from 1969 to 1971.[1] From 1975 to 1983, Kleingartner served as vice president of the University of California system, with responsibility for academic and staff personnel relations for the nine UC campuses.[1] Contemporary coverage of his work included reporting on UC personnel policies and collective bargaining. In 1982, he announced that he would resign the vice presidency and return to teaching, saying that his decision had been influenced by the resignation of UC President David S. Saxon.[3]

Kleingartner's scholarship on professional employees and collective bargaining was discussed in independent publications during the 1970s. A 1975 national symposium volume on teacher labor relations used his analysis of professional employees to discuss professional autonomy, occupational identity, career development, and economic security.[4] The 1974–75 annual report of the Superior Council of Education of Quebec, published in 1976, also discussed his work on collective bargaining among salaried professionals.[5]

In 1986, Kleingartner founded the UCLA Human Resources Round Table, bringing together senior human-resources executives with UCLA faculty and researchers.[6]

From 1992 to 1993, Kleingartner chaired the UCLA Academic Senate. In 1994, he was named the founding dean of the UCLA School of Public Policy and Social Research. The school subsequently became the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs.[1]

He later chaired the UCLA Academic Information Technology Board and served as director of the UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate.[1] He was also founding director of the John S. and Marilyn Long U.S.-China Institute for Business and Law at the University of California, Irvine.[7]

Kleingartner's research on collective bargaining in the entertainment industry was later cited by the OECD in its 2019 discussion of collective bargaining in the creative sector, including the multi-employer bargaining practices of Hollywood guilds.[8]
