Subject: MASSMAIL - Chancellor Announcement
<![CDATA[April 19, 2005
Dear faculty, staff and students:
It is with great pleasure that I inform you that Richard Herman
will be the permanent chancellor of the University of Illinois at Urbana.
Richard has done a stellar job as interim chancellor since last
summer and he emerged as the clear choice to hold the post on a permanent
basis after a national search that lasted nine months and attracted a
superb field of experienced leaders in higher education.
Since I joined the University of Illinois in January, I have
found Richard to be a talented leader who brings to the job a combination
of integrity, intellect and passion. I have the utmost confidence he is
the person best suited at this moment in our 138-year history to lead the
university to continued greatness.
The Board of Trustees is unanimous in sharing my confidence in
Richard's leadership capabilities. The Board will act on Richard's
appointment at its next scheduled meeting May 19 in Chicago.
Richard prevailed in an exceptionally qualified field of
candidates brought forth by the Search Committee to Assist in the
Selection of a Chancellor. I extend our collective thanks to the
committee for its dedication to an assignment of such importance. I
especially commend the committee chair, Professor James D. Anderson, and
Mr. Bill Funk of Korn/Ferry International.
News of Richard Herman's selection and his background can be
found at: www.uiuc.edu/newchancellor
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Richard Herman as the next
chancellor of the University of Illinois at Urbana.
Best regards,
B. Joseph White
President
