In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the Board of Regents will have a critical decision to make about the leadership of the University of Texas at Austin after news broke on Monday evening that president Greg Fenves is leaving for Emory University, according to Bobby Burton of Horns247.
The Board of Regents will vote on an interim president next week before beginning the search for the 30th president in school history. The Texas Tribune expects an official announcement on the departure of Fenves this week as he takes a “similar position” at Emory.
