SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher
To Retire At End Of 2016-17 Year
Nancy L. Zimpher, SUNY chancellor for seven years – the longest tenure since Clifton R. Wharton, Jr., of Cooperstown in the 1980s – is stepping down next year, the New York Times is reporting.
According to The Times, “Zimpher has relentlessly promoted the system, through a strategic plan called ‘The Power of SUNY,’ as an engine of economic growth and community development.
“She has also sought to raise academic standards and has made it easier for students to transfer within SUNY’s sprawling system of 64 campuses, which serves 460,000 full-time and part-time students.”
