UT System officially appoints James B. Milliken as new chancellor after McRaven's departure
The UT System Board of Regents officially appointed James B. Milliken, the former City University of New York chancellor, as its new chancellor at a special meeting on Monday.
After naming the long-time higher education leader as the sole finalist for the role three weeks ago, the regents voted unanimously to confirm him as chancellor, as required per Texas law.
“Let me officially welcome you to the University of Texas System Board of Regents,” Board Chairman Sara Martinez Tucker said after the vote. “We look forward to our time together.”
Milliken is expected to formally become the System’s 12th chancellor on Sept. 17, and is chancellor designee effective immediately. After his appointment, Milliken held a press conference and said he was optimistic about the future of higher education, especially in Texas.
