About Paul Corts

Born 1943.

Paul Corts (born 1943) is an American educator and public official. Most of his career was spent in leadership positions in Christian higher education, including as President of Wingate College and later Palm Beach Atlantic University. He then served as Assistant Attorney General during the George W Bush administration. Later, he served as President of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities.

He is perhaps most popularly known for his 2005 role in removing the robes that had covered semi-nude statues at the US Department of Justice. His role in this was humorously revisited in the widely read comic strip series "Sylvia."
