N.C. A & T to name new chancellor
Submitted by eferreri on 05/21/2009 - 15:13North Carolina A & T University has moved quickly to find a replacement for Chancellor Stanley Battle, whose abrupt announcement in February that he planned to step down caught the institution by surprise.
The UNC system's Board of Governors has called a special meeting for tomorrow morning where they will name Battle's replacement. The university system hasn't said who it will be, but the Greensboro News & Record reports that it will be Harold Martin, currently the UNC system's vice president for academic planning.
Martin has a wealth of campus experience and a well of support within the university system. A N.C. A&T alum with two degrees from there, he chaired that institution's electrical engineering department, was the engineering dean and served as vice chancellor for academic affairs before leaving in 2000 to become chancellor at Winston-Salem State University.
He held that post until 2006.
Among his more recent roles, Martin chaired a UNC system task force that examined - in the wake of racist graffiti discovered at N.C. State - whether the university should have a policy on hate crimes.
