By Kyeland Jackson —
Acting President Neville Pinto has put his ducks in a row, naming U of L’s vice president and provost.
English Professor Dale Billingsley will take over the positions. Billingsley’s tenure spans almost 40 years, with his last nine years spent as university’s vice provost for undergraduate affairs. Pinto praised Billingsley’s service and accomplishments.
“He (Billingsley) is a former chair of the Faculty Senate and served as faculty trustee. His experience and knowledge of the university and his background and history will enable him to continue the momentum in the implementation of the 21st Century University Initiative: Powering the 2020 Plan, as well as the other facets of the provost’s position,” Pinto said in a statement.
