Rutgers University announced the appointment of President William Tate IV from Louisiana State University, effective July 1, as a transformative leader for its multi-campus identity. Tate leaves LSU with a legacy of increased research funding and enrollment but faced several controversies during his tenure, including issues related to diversity programs and faculty speech. He replaces Jonathan Holloway, who resigned after facing significant unrest, including labor strikes and safety concerns, marking a notable transition in the leadership of two prominent universities in higher education.
Rutgers seeks a transformative leader who embodies its values. Dr. Tate fits this role with his visionary leadership and ability to unite academic excellence with public impact.
Tate leaves a legacy of increased research spending and enrollment at LSU, but also faced controversies over diversity programs, free speech concerns, and social media statements.
