James Graaskamp
James A. Graaskamp (1933-1988), a professor and department chairman of real estate at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, helped establish his field within the realm of academia. He is credited with creating a multi-faceted ethics based curriculum now widely used in teaching real estate.
==Biography==
Born in Milwaukee in 1933, James, or "Jim" as he was known to family and friends, was the son of Arnold G. and Lillian (Haufe) Graaskamp. His grandfather, Garret William Graaskamp, was born in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, and his grandmother, Lavina Risseeuw, was born in the Netherlands (Ancestry.com, James A. Graaskamp Family Tree, retrieved January 16, 2015). As happened to too many children of that era, Jim contracted polio at the age of 17. The disease left him quadriplegic, with no sensation or control from the shoulders down. This forced him to abandon a football scholarship to Harvard and seek a warmer climate for a time. He earned a bachelor's degree in creative writing from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, then went on to earn a master’s of business administration in security analysis from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and a doctorate in urban land economics and risk management from the University of Wisconsin. He began teaching real estate at the University of Wisconsin in 1964 and continued until his death in 1988 at the age of 54, as which time he was chair of the department. He was survived by his long-time companion, Jean Davis. Jim's devotion to students and intellectual oratory earned him legions of loyal student followers.
Jim was a world traveler and determined to be as independent as possible. Every school year, he hired several students to live with him at his home on Breese Terrace, near Camp Randall, the Universoty of Wisconsin football stadium. These students assisted Jim with his personal care and traveled with him on his many journeys, including trips to Alaska, Hawaii, Europe and in pursuing his favorite pastime, deep sea fishing, for which he developed his own specialized tackle.〔(Malpezzi, 2008)〕
Jim was one of the first to discuss the concept of "affordable housing". He successfully showed that the prevailing government sentiment of the time that commercial properties offered higher tax yields and lower service demands created unnecessary barriers to build housing for those less well-off. His argument was that such housing is needed for both efficiency (workers live near work) and equity (everyone has a right to housing). He also took on the challenges between current residents and new residents and new development, a fight currently attributed to the NIMBY residents--"Not In My Back Yard". Jim demonstrated that restrictive land use regulations can stagnate communities as new residents, businesses and development are shut out. Although Jim refused to allow his personal health issues to restrict him, and indeed, many of his colleagues, friends and students completely forgot his disability, his limitations of necessity made him a pioneer in accessible real estate, far ahead of the ADA, projects on which he worked with friend and fellow professor, Mike McBurney.
