Rudy Hinden

Dean Rudolph "Rudy" Hinden is a former student and later Dean of Admissions of California State University.
== Biography ==
He was a student at California State University along with Phil Dunphy and also did cheerleading with him although the two were never close. Phil found him annoying, though it was clear that their personalities were very alike.
He later went on to become Dean of Admissions at his alma mater. He bounces on his trampoline for at least 20 minutes a day because he claims that it helps him think. 
In "Pig Moon Rising", he and Phil reunited when Phil visited the college with his wife, Claire, to persuade him to let his son, Luke, attend the college even though they had already turned him down. Rudy agreed since they have accepted students much worse than Luke in the past, but with the condition that Phil teach him a magic trick he used to do in college when he would escape from a straightjacket while blindfolded, the Barnum's Humbug, since he had been trying to figure it out for years.
He recorded an unwilling Phil reveal the secret to the trick and finally did accept Luke.
