U. of Arizona Names New Provost

The University of Arizona has selected Meredith Hay, vice president for research at the University of Iowa, as its next provost, the Arizona Daily Star reports. Pending final approval by Arizona’s governing board, she’ll take office on April 30. She succeeds Eugene Sander, Arizona’s vice president for outreach and dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences who assumed the job of interim provost in July 2007 when George Davis left to return to teaching.
