James B. Milliken, a seasoned leader from Texas and New York's higher education systems, has been appointed as the next president of the 10-campus University of California during a challenging period. The university is facing potential funding cuts from the Trump administration, impacting its research and services. Milliken, former chancellor of the University of Texas, brings a wealth of experience, as he has also led the University of Nebraska and the City University of New York. Janet Reilly, chair of the UC Board of Regents, emphasized his leadership qualities at a pivotal time for the institution.
We know that higher education faces challenges and changes. What will not change is the University of California's commitment to providing quality education and serving the public.
These times call for a president who is an effective advocate, a clear communicator and a collaborative partner to our many constituents.
