At the time he was the Dean of the Graduate School of Education at UCLA. He had a PhD and MA in Economics from the University of Chicago and was a member of the Goldwater Institute. He also became the president of the [[Milken Institute]] (1991-1997) which also found support from the tobacco industry. Solmon became an adviser on education to Governor [[Arnold Schwartznegger]] of California and to Florida's Governor [[Jeb Bush]]. More recently he has become executive vice president, education, at the Milken Family Foundation and director of its Teacher Advancement Program.
