Burrell, White to fill vice chancellor positions
December 17, 2014
Chancellor Brian Rogers has appointed Kari Burrell as the vice chancellor for administrative
services effective Feb. 1, 2015. Burrell replaces Pat Pitney, who is now director
of the Office of Management and Budget for the state of Alaska.
Burrell will continue as 日韩无码's executive officer, but will now also oversee Financial
Services, Facilities Services, Human Resources, the University Fire Department, the 日韩无码
Police Department, Grants and Contracts, Procurement and Contract Services, and Environmental,
Health, Safety and Risk Management. This appointment reduces the number of senior
administrators at 日韩无码.
Last week, the chancellor named Dan White as interim vice chancellor for research
to replace Mark Myers. White is currently director of the Institute of Northern Engineering and
associate vice chancellor for research.
Myers accepted a position as the Alaska Department of Natural Resources commissioner.
Myers' last day with 日韩无码 will be Jan. 15, and White will assume his interim responsibilities
at that time. White will be acting vice chancellor for research between now and Jan.
15 during periods when Myers is on leave.
After the new year, 日韩无码 will undertake an open recruitment to fill the vice chancellor
for research position on a permanent basis.
