Wilson, Robin Scott was born on September 19, 1928 in Columbus, Ohio, United States. Son of John Harold and Helen Louise (Walker) Wilson.
He served in military intelligence in the United States Navy for several years, before finishing his Doctor of Philosophy work at the University of Illinois in 1959.
Wilson earned a Bachelor degree from Ohio State University in 1949, before spending a year in the Merchant Marine. He then went back to school, obtaining an Master of Arts at the University of Illinois. Wilson worked for the Central Intelligence Agency for several years in the 1960s before deciding to devote himself to teaching and writing.
He taught English and writing, and organized the original Clarion Writers Workshop, at Clarion State College, Pennsylvania 1968, followed by instruction at Tulane University, and Michigan State University.
He also wrote several science fiction novels, and served as a consulting editor for the Journal of Higher Education. He had several short stories published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction during the 1990s.
In many of his fiction works, he is credited as "Robin Scott". In 1980, Wilson was appointed President of California State University, Chico.
In March 1987, the university was named the number one party school in the nation.
This prompted Wilson to demand that the local police actively intervene in the parties, shutting them down by force. During the last week in April, police wearing riot gear marched into a crowd of pedestrians in a flying v formation, causing a police riot. The annual observation of Pioneer Days, ordinarily held on the first Saturday in May was suspended.
The annual event has since been re-organized.
He also asked the Reserve Officers Training Corps to leave the campus, after a resolution passed by the school"s Faculty senate. Wilson retired from his position with Cal State Chico in 1993, and moved on to California State University, Monterey Bay, where he serves as a "trustee professor".
