Dr. John Vile

Vile, a former chair of the Department of Political Science, is the author of numerous scholarly and publicly accessible volumes about the constitution and the founding fathers.

On special occasions, he’s dressed in period costume to portray America’s fourth president, James Madison, who often is called “The Father of the Constitution.”
