Riverside educator named chancellor of Cal State University system
Takes over in late December from Charles Reed, who is retiring
|
California State University officials named a new chancellor yesterday.
Timothy White will replace current CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed, who announced in late May that he planned to retire after a 14-year tenure.
White, 63, has spent the past four years as chancellor of the University of California at Riverside.
University of California President Mark Yudof issued a statement Thursday morning on the selection, calling White "an excellent choice to lead the California State University system."
Yudof said he will appoint a future interim chancellor for UC Riverside in the near future.
"While he will be missed, it is no small consolation knowing that, with Chancellor White at the helm of the CSU, the University of California
will continue to have a well-placed partner and ally in the fight to preserve public higher education in California," Yudof said.
White will take over as CSU chancellor in late December.
Eight members of the 25-member CSU Board of Trustees were selected to be part of a special committee to consider the candidates. The committee met in closed session on June 28, Aug. 21 and Sept. 11 to discuss the matter.
Before making a final selection, the board brought in an eight-member group of external stakeholders to provide input. The board and stakeholders met in a closed session on Wednesday before naming White today.— Bay City News Service Are you receiving Express, our free daily e-mail edition?

Posted by Moravecglobal, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Oct 5, 2012 at 2:40 pm If the new Chancellor of CSU follows in the footsteps of elete University of California Berkeley he'll be self absorbed and loose touch with Californians. I love University of California having been a student & lecturer. Like so many I am disappointed by Provost George Breslauer’s ($306,000 salary) and Chancellor Birgeneau’s ($450,000 salary) failure to arrest escalating costs/tuition. Birgeneau/Breslauer doubled in-state tuition. UC Berkeley (UCB) is the most expensive public university. The tuition increases have forced students to take on more debt to finance their education.
UC Berkeley ranked # 2 in faculty earning potential. Paying more is not a better university. Birgeneau/Breslauer dismissed: increasing the number of classes per faculty; eliminating courses with too few students; refraining from exorbitant salaries, bonuses; doubling the time between sabbaticals; freezing all vacant positions; freezing pay, benefits & reforming pensions, health costs. Birgeneau believes fiscal efficiency is not healthy for Cal. Exodus of faculty, chancellors, and administrators: who can afford them?
More funding is not the answer Prop 30,32, 38. An American Enterprise Institute study found that UCB can operate well on much leaner budgets. Californians agree it is far from the ideal situation.
Send a forceful message that this simply isn’t acceptable. UC Board of Regents marsha.kelman@ucop.edu

Posted by Resident, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Oct 6, 2012 at 3:10 pm 421K for the CSU guy when they are raising the tuition? And Brown expects his silly propositions to pass?
No on 30, 38, I, any prop that has to do with taxes to get more money for education.
Until they stop paying ridiculous salaries and deal with unfunded liabilities, no more taxes!

Posted by Milan Moravec, a resident of the Pleasanton Valley neighborhood, on Oct 17, 2012 at 4:56 pm Save California for our children. Vote No on Prop 30, 38, 32. Keep the California dream alive.
The choices we Californians make on Nov 6 will determine California’s course for years. We are kidding ourselves by believing that education funding shortfalls disappear with Prop 30, Prop 38.
Prop 30, Prop 38 both levy significant taxes on each one of us. The wounds that Prop 30, 38 are to heal have been self inflicted largely by our elected Sacramento politicians who simply do not say no to any influential interest group be they University of California, public employees, business, teachers, or other unions or lobbyists.
And now Prop 30, 38 are used by Sacramento politicians and lobbyists to blackmail us.
