Trustees approved President Joe DiPietro’s recommendations that Beverly Davenport be appointed the next chancellor for UT Knoxville and that Tim Cross be appointed the next UT Institute of Agriculture chancellor.
Pending board approval, Davenport will join UT Knoxville on Feb. 15, 2017. Davenport, currently interim president of the University of Cincinnati, will be the first woman to lead the Knoxville campus.
Three uniquely qualified higher education leaders have been selected as finalists in the search for the next University of Tennessee, Knoxville, chancellor. Finalists will meet with campus leaders and key faculty, staff, student, alumni and community members.
