Terry Howard Anderson (born December 8, 1946) is a professor of recent United States history at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, and the author of The Pursuit of Fairness: A History of Affirmative Action.
Anderson is the son of Howard Everett Anderson (born ca. 1916) and the former Emily Kneip (born ca. 1918), formerly of Duluth and Silver Bay, Minnesota, who since have resided in Harlingen and Bryan, Texas. Terry Anderson served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War, probably from 1965–1967, though biographical sketches about Anderson do not give the years of his military service. In 1971, he received his Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and St. Paul. In 1973, he obtained the Master of Arts in history from the University of Missouri at Columbia, Missouri.
In 1978, Anderson procured his Ph.D. in history from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, where he had also been the assistant oral historian. In 1979, he joined the TAMU history faculty. In the 2001-02 academic year, he taught in Dublin, Ireland, on a Fulbright Scholarship through the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, an institution named for the mother of George Washington. Similarly, from 1994–1995, Anderson was a Fulbright professor at the Institute of American Studies at Northeast Normal University in Changchu, China. In 1991, he taught in a TAMU program in Koriyama, Japan. In the 1978-1979 academic year, Anderson was an assistant professor at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg.
