Porter, Jack Nusan.

Jack Nusan Porter was born Yaakov Puchtik on December 2, 1944 in Rovno, Ukraine, U.S.S.R. He was the son of Israel and Fayge Puchtik. After World War II, the Puchtiks emigrated from the Soviet Union and in 1946 settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In the United States, the Puchtiks anglicized their names to Porter: Irving, Fay, and Jack.

After taking his B.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1967, Porter undertook graduate study in sociology at Northwestern University. Northwestern awarded Porter his doctorate in 1971. Porter's dissertation, "Student Protest, University Decision-Making, and the Technocratic Society: The Case of ROTC," was a study of student opposition to Northwestern's Reserve Officer Training Corps from 1968 to 1970.
