Education 2025: HALLOCK, KEVIN F.

An economist with a doctorate from Princeton, Hallock joined University of Richmond in 2021. One of the private school’s long-term goals has been affordability. Need-based aid packages average $64,880 toward roughly $84,000 in annual costs for tuition and room and board. Starting this fall, families earning $75,000 or less qualify for a full ride.

This fall, UR plans to launch The Center for Liberal Arts and AI, “bringing together researchers, students, and educators from colleges across the Associated Colleges of the South to explore pressing social, cultural, and legal questions and dimensions of artificial intelligence.”

In 2023, UR’s Robins School of Business received an anonymous $10 million gift to establish an endowed scholarship fund, and alumni Carole and Marcus Weinstein donated $25 million to support a student learning center based at UR’s library.

With a student body of about 3,700 students, 10% of UR’s enrollment is made up of international students representing almost 80 countries.

Hallock spent 16 years at Cornell University, including as dean of its business college. He co-founded PayStandards, a software company that assists companies in setting equitable salaries.
