UM: Provost

The Washington Post profiles Terry Sullivan, UM’s provost who was recently appointed president at the University of Virginia: “Now, at 60, Sullivan is about to assume her first college presidency, and colleagues say she is more than ready. But this is no ordinary job. Mr. Jefferson’s University, as many call it, is perhaps the preeminent public institution of higher learning on the East Coast, a place brimming with history, and consistently ranks second only to Berkeley in academic prestige among public universities. She replaces John T. Casteen III, who is concluding one of the most successful college presidencies in recent memory. She starts Aug. 1, amid a statewide economic crisis.” [Source]
