NASHVILLE - WITH THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE SEARCH COMMITTEE FOR A CHANCELLOR AND THE OFFICIAL VOTE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE TENNESSEE BOARD OF REGENTS IN A SPECIAL CALLED SESSION TODAY, A NEW CHANCELLOR HAS BEEN NAMED TO LEAD THE TENNESSEE BOARD OF REGENTS' SYSTEM. DR. CHARLES MANNING WILL BECOME THE SIXTH CHANCELLOR OF THE REGENTS' SYSTEM.
DR. MANNING WAS ONE OF FOUR FINALISTS RECOMMENDED BY KORN/FERRY, THE INTERNATIONAL SEARCH FIRM CONDUCTING THE SEARCH, AND SUBSEQUENTLY INTERVIEWED BY THE TENNESSEE BOARD OF REGENTS SEARCH COMMITTEE FOR A CHANCELLOR.
REGARDING HIS APPOINTMENT, MANNING SAID, "THE TENNESSEE BOARD OF
REGENTS' SYSTEM PLAYS A LARGE ROLE IN IMPROVING THE LIVES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF
TENNESSEANS ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE. I AM EAGER TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD
THE SYSTEM TO LEVELS OF EVEN GREATER SERVICE TO THE STATE OF TENNESSEE AND ITS
PEOPLE."
"I AM PLEASED THAT DR. MANNING WILL BE JOINING THE TENNESSEE BOARD OF REGENTS AS THE NEW CHANCELLOR," STATED GOVERNOR DON SUNDQUIST. "HE BRINGS EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE AS A LEADER IN HIGHER EDUCATION. I AM CONFIDENT THAT DR. MANNING WILL PROVIDE EXCELLENT LEADERSHIP IN HIS ROLE AS CHANCELLOR."
DR. MANNING HAS SERVED FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE FLAGSHIP SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN WEST VIRGINIA, THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF WEST VIRGINIA. AS ITS FIRST CHANCELLOR, DR. MANNING HAS INCREASED THE RESOURCE BASE SUBSTANTIALLY OVER 10 YEARS, SELECTED PRESIDENTS OF EACH UNIVERSITY OF THE SYSTEM, AND GUIDED THE BOARD OF DIVERSE AND TALENTED LEADERS FROM ACROSS THE STATE TO AN EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP ENGINE.
UNDER MANNING'S LEADERSHIP, WEST VIRGINIA HAS RISEN TO 13TH AMONG THE STATES IN PUBLIC INVESTMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION RELATIVE TO THE PER CAPITA INCOME OF ITS CITIZENS. HIS SUCCESS AS CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF WEST VIRGINIA TOGETHER WITH HIS SERVICE IN EARLIER YEARS AS EXECUTIVE VICE CHANCELLOR OF THE OKLAHOMA SYSTEM AND DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR THE COLORADO COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION IS A REMARKABLE RECORD OF LEADERSHIP IN AMERICA.
