Russell Borchert is the eccentric founder of Greendale Community College. He was a wealthy computer programmer who dedicated himself to creating a machine which could process human emotion. Not long after the community college opened, Borchert disappeared following a bizarre sex scandal. The campus building known as "Borchert Hall" which houses Greendale's Olympic sized swimming pool is named after him. His first appearance is in the Season Five episode "Basic Sandwich". He is portrayed by actor/comedian Chris Elliot.
Character history
In the 1970's, a computer genius named Russell Borchert created the 9 track cassette player. The 8 track cassette industry bribed him to prevent it from being manufactured and Russell became a millionaire. Looking towards the future, he took that money and used it to found a technological institute, the "Greendale Computery College" in 1974. He the began devoting himself to an ambitious project to create a computer which could process human emotion. With his vast wealth to finance it, Russell used gold for the circuitry believing it to be a better conductor for emotions. His overt physical displays of affection for the machine he built created a scandal at the school. Borchert disappeared amidst the allegations and it was rumored he died of the worlds first computer virus.
The truth was that Borchert willingly had Greendale's first Dean seal him and the entire computer lab off from the rest of the campus. He stockpiled 50 years worth of water, food and cocaine in order to continue developing his project in secret while also protecting the schools reputation. As the years passed, the school was renamed "Greendale Community College" and its focus was taken away from technology and instead to being an affordable alternative for people seeking a higher education. During this time he had some success getting his machine, now dubbed "Raquel", to respond to certain emotional stimuli.
