Search launch, role responsibilities
A national search was launched in February to select the next ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ chancellor. Currently, the ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ president holds ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ chancellor responsibilities, while academic affairs, research, enrollment management and student affairs are led by the ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ provost.
Separating these roles and recreating the ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ chancellor position was discussed by the Board of Regents during the 2024 ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ presidential search. ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ is the only ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ campus without a dedicated chancellor.
The goal is to appoint the next ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½ ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ chancellor with a start date as early as July 2026. More information about the search is .
