Iuliano served as senior vice president,general counsel,and deputy to the president at Harvard University [7] from 1994 to 2019. A member of the University’s legal team,he served five presidents:Neil L. Rudenstine,Derek Bok,Lawrence H. Summers,Drew Gilpin Faust,and Lawrence S. Bacow.
In his role,Iuliano oversaw Harvard’s legal strategy,including Harvard’s response to the lawsuit challenging the College’s consideration of race in admissions.
During his career at Harvard,he oversaw the Harvard University Police Department and managed a number of University initiatives and committees,including efforts to strengthen Title IX regulations as well as the Presidential Task Force on Inclusion and Belonging [8]

In January 2019,Gettysburg College announced that Iuliano would succeed Janet Morgan Riggs to become the college's 15th president. He assumed office in July 2019. [10]
Iuliano arrived at Gettysburg College just prior to COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. He spent much of his first three years navigating Gettysburg through the pandemic. He acknowledged the long-term effects the pandemic had on learning,but also emphasized the new and effective methods of instruction that came out of the challenges COVID-19 presented. [11]
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Pennsylvania,Iuliano designated a one-week lockdown period for all students at Gettysburg College in September 2020. [12] [13] Iuliano also required all upperclassmen to return home for the fall semester,being the first American college to implement such a measure. [14]
In 2022,prior to the United States Supreme Court hearing oral arguments in Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina and Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College,Iuliano spoke out on the importance of race-conscious admissions to building diverse college campuses. In an opinion editorial, [15] Iuliano contended that a less diverse student body would undermine the impact and effectiveness of the education that American colleges offer to students,and that it would make college graduates less prepared to engage in an interconnected world.
Following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling,Iuliano was critical [16] of the decision that colleges and universities could no longer consider an applicant’s race when evaluating their application for admission.
In October,2023,Iuliano's provost Jamila Bookwala announced the closure of The Gettysburg Review, a highly-regarded literary journal based at Gettysburg College. Faculty from the Gettysburg English Department,as well as students and alumni who had served as interns at the Review,and the wider literary community,spoke out against Iuliano's decision,questioning his commitment to equity and liberal-arts education.

Grutter v. Bollinger,539 U.S. 306 (2003),was a landmark case of the Supreme Court of the United States concerning affirmative action in student admissions. The Court held that a student admissions process that favors "underrepresented minority groups" did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause so long as it took into account other factors evaluated on an individual basis for every applicant. The decision largely upheld the Court's decision in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978),which allowed race to be a consideration in admissions policy but held racial quotas to be unconstitutional. In Gratz v. Bollinger (2003),a separate case decided on the same day as Grutter,the Court struck down a points-based admissions system that awarded an automatic bonus to the admissions scores of minority applicants.

In the United States,affirmative action consists of government-mandated,government-approved,and voluntary private programs granting special consideration to groups considered or classified as historically excluded,specifically racial minorities and women. These programs tend to focus on access to education and employment in order to redress the disadvantages associated with past and present discrimination. Another goal of affirmative action policies is to ensure that public institutions,such as universities,hospitals,and police forces,are more representative of the populations they serve.
