Indianapolis – Vice President-elect Governor Mike Pence issued the following statement regarding the passing of William F. Harvey, the Dean Emeritus and Carl M. Gray Emeritus Professor of Law at the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law:
“Professor Bill Harvey was a personal mentor of mine and an intellectual giant who, throughout his distinguished career, garnered the respect and admiration of his peers, colleagues and students. His awards and recognitions were numerous, and his body of work will serve as a guide for those studying the law for generations to come.
“His affinity for the law inspired a generation of Hoosiers, myself included. Indeed, Indiana’s loss with the passing of this extraordinary man is my personal loss. I will always remember Professor Harvey as a champion of the Constitution, a mentor, a veteran and a man of faith.
“The Good Book tells us that the Lord holds his faithful servants in the moment of their passing, and as we mourn the loss of William F. Harvey, Karen and I offer our deepest condolences to those who knew and loved him.â€
