"Crowley served as the University of Nevada, Reno president for a record-setting 23 years, from 1978 to 2001. When Crowley stepped down from the Nevada presidency, he was the longest-serving president at a single institution among the nation’s principal universities. His 23 years as president mark the longest single tenure of any of Nevada’s chief executives. During his tenure as the 13th president at the Reno institution, he presided over dramatic expansion of the university's physical plant as well as significant increases in student and faculty numbers."
