UMass trustees meet to vote on new Lowell chancellor
BOSTON (AP) — The University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees has scheduled a meeting to vote on a new chancellor for the Lowell campus.
The meeting is scheduled for Monday at the system's Boston headquarters.
The UMass-Lowell Chancellor Search Committee will give its report and system President Marty Meehan will make his recommendation to the trustees prior to a vote.
The search committee has forwarded the name of just one finalist to the trustees — current UMass-Lowell executive vice chancellor Jacqueline Moloney.
If approved, Moloney would be the first woman to lead the university and its predecessor institutions in their 121-year history. She is also an alumna of the school.
She would replace Meehan.
