UC Regents Approve 4 New Chancellors, 2 of Them Women
The University of California Board of Regents today approved appointments of four new chancellors for the nine-campus system, including the first women in the history of the institution.
Theodore L. Hullar was approved for the University of California at Davis, Robert Bocking Stevens for UC Santa Cruz, and Barbara S. Uehling for UC Santa Barbara.
Rosemary Schmidt Jenkins Schraer, executive vice chancellor at UC Riverside, was approved to succeed Hullar as chancellor there.
The vote was unanimous and followed two days of closed meetings of the university’s regents at UCLA.
Uehling, 54, recently left the University of Missouri at Columbia after eight years as chancellor. She succeeds Daniel G. Aldrich Jr., acting chancellor at Santa Barbara since last July when Robert A. Huttenback resigned amid allegations of improper use of university funds on his off-campus home.
Hullar, 52, who had been chancellor at Riverside since 1985, replaces retiring Chancellor James H. Meyer at Davis.
Stevens, 53, who has been president of Haverford College in Haverford, Pa., since 1978, becomes the fifth chancellor at Santa Cruz. He replaces Chancellor Robert L. Sinsheimer, who is retiring June 30 after 10 years.
Huttenback, 59, and his wife, Freda, 55, were arrested Monday and charged Tuesday. Both are charged with one count of embezzlement for allegedly fraudulently appropriating $174,000 in university funds between 1983 and 1986.
