Junior Bridgeman, who has chaired both the University of Louisville board of trustees and the UofL Foundation board is back at UofL again, thanks to Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin.
Bridgeman is among the 10 individuals named Tuesday to replace a board that lacked political and diversity balance, was unable to conduct a presidential search, was considered dysfunctional by many. Nine of the 10 members are the same as the Governor announced last July., with the exception of James M. Rogers who replaced Dale Bolden on the list.
A UofL spokesman indicated that the newly appointed board will appoint an interim president soon to replace Neville Pinto, who accepted the presidency at the University of Cincinnati.
