Moeser comments on Shelton’s selection as Arizona president
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chancellor James Moeser today (Jan. 27) commented on the Arizona Board of Regents’ selection of Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Robert Shelton as the president of the University of Arizona:
"On behalf of the Carolina community, I congratulate Robert Shelton for being chosen for this important position in American higher education. The University of Arizona has made an excellent decision by entrusting its future to Robert’s leadership. He will be missed, but we wish him and his family well as they embark on this next professional opportunity.
"I will move quickly to start the search for Robert’s successor. I plan to consult with the vice chancellors, deans and Faculty Advisory Committee members and will move with all speed to identify an interim executive vice chancellor and provost who would not be a candidate for the permanent position."
