Randy Boyd, the president of the University of Tennessee, has officially unveiled the search committee tasked with identifying the next chancellor for the University of Tennessee Southern (UT Southern). This pivotal role is essential as the chancellor serves as the chief academic and administrative leader for the Southern campus. Reporting directly to the UT President, the chancellor also holds a position on the leadership team of the UT System.
The responsibilities of the UT Southern chancellor extend beyond mere administration; they include the promotion of the campus’s academic programs and enhancing research initiatives. The chancellor is expected to provide visionary leadership while actively working towards the objectives set forth in the UT Southern Strategic Plan.
The search for a new chancellor is set to commence formally in January, with the goal of making an appointment by June. Donde Plowman, who is the chancellor of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, will oversee the search process. The committee will comprise a diverse group, including professors, staff members, students, alumni, and representatives from the UT Board of Trustees, ensuring a comprehensive approach to selecting the next leader for UT Southern.
