Former UNC Charlotte Chancellor Jim Woodward of Charlotte has been tapped to serve as interim chancellor at N.C. State, where he once taught, while the university searches for a replacement for former N.C. State Chancellor Jim Oblinger. Oblinger resigned this morning.
UNC President Erskine Bowles said, "I am extremely grateful that UNC Charlotte Chancellor Emeritus Jim Woodward—an aeronautical and mechanical engineer who taught at NC State early in his career—has agreed on very short notice to serve as interim chancellor. I will of course be working closely with NC State Board of Trustees Chairman Bob Jordan to launch a search for a permanent chancellor and to ensure that the campus doesn’t lose momentum in the months ahead."
Here's a link to Bowles' letter to the UNC Board of Governors.

wonder what kind of deal he cut
he's such a well educated LIAR!!!
Jim Woodward is one the most ethical, well-respected leaders in higher education. How dare anyone question that!
Jim is a CLASS ACT and has always been admired by those who he's come in contact with or even helped as Chancellor or just Jim being Jim!
Dr. Woodward is one of the finest educators and administrators in our nation. His leadership at UNC Charlotte was invaluable to the University at critical times. He will serve in the interim position and again demonstrate his skill as an administrator.
It looks like Mr. Easley also installed 2 BOTs at UNC-CH. Looks like the microscope is shifting to Chapel Hill.
Best of luck to Dr. Woodward, but I hate that UNC Charlotte's name is now associated with this fiasco.
Gee, I wonder if Woodward will try to emiminate football from NC State now?
