New President

I only post b/c I'm not sure I've ever seen a President more supportive of athletics at UC.  He's walking with CBJ every game, and I expect he'll be doing the same with Cronin come basketball.

From C. Francis Barrett, Chair, Board of Trustees

 

Please join me in celebrating the appointment of Santa Jeremy Ono as the 28^th President of the University of Cincinnati. This morning, I and my fellow trustees unanimously voted to appoint Dr. Ono to serve as this university’s chief executive.

 

In making this decision, the Board was inspired by the unanimous recommendation of a broadly representative search committee. Dr. Ono impressed the search committee and the Board of Trustees with his apparently unlimited energy and enthusiasm. He has, in his brief term as interim president, made the extra effort to be accessible to all of the university’s constituencies – especially our students – and has demonstrated that he values consensus. His efforts are based on a university in which students occupy the center of all of our activities, and where learning is paramount. He understands, as a faculty member, the importance of our academic mission. The staff understand that he values decisions based on process fueled by data.

 

The Board of Trustees is committed to giving its full support to President Ono, and we trust that the University of Cincinnati community will rally behind President Ono as he prepares this institution for the challenges ahead.
