The University of Mississippi chancellor Jeffrey Vitter is reportedly resigning and will be no longer in his position at the conclusion of the calendar year, per RebelGrove.com’s Neal McCready and Chase Parham.
Rebel Grove expects an interim to be named, but the process to find the permanent replacement is going to be a lengthy one. The university’s staff members were notified of Vitter’s tenure being terminated Friday morning.
As Rebel Grove mentioned, this is going to be a long, draw-out process. But it’s not only going to be something that takes some time because they want to find the right fit and candidate for the position, but because there are going to be several moving parts and stockholders in the mix, literally and figuratively.
