\"Dr.

Dr. Bill Stacy spoke at UTC undergraduate commencement ceremonies in 2017.<\/p><\/div>\n

Dr. Bill W. Stacy, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga chancellor from 1997 to 2004, passed away on Jan. 4, 2024, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Dr. Stacy was 85.<\/p>\n

Dr. Stacy was often described as a visionary and a builder, UTC Chancellor Steven R. Angle said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter I first arrived at UTC in 2013, Dr. Stacy took me under his wing and was instrumental in introducing me to key members of the community,\u201d Angle said. \u201cHe was easy to get along with, always entertaining, and committed to bettering the lives of those around him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had the pleasure of introducing him as the featured speaker for the fall 2017 commencement ceremonies. It allowed me to extol his virtues while talking about his incredible impact on this campus; he was a truly transformational leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Stacy worked hand-in-hand with Scotty Probasco and the UC Foundation on building South Campus housing, changing UTC from a commuter campus to a residential institution; during his time as chancellor, over 1,600 beds were built. Just as significantly, he grew the stature of the University academically by establishing UTC\u2019s first Ph.D. programs.<\/p>\n

Kim White, Vice Chancellor of Advancement, lauded Dr. Stacy\u2019s role in involving the Foundation in student housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a visionary and very forward-thinking. He thought big and backed it up, changing both our campus and the Foundation with his big vision for what UTC could\u2014and has\u2014become,\u201d White said. \u201cHe was a fantastic fund- and friend-raiser for our campus, helping close out some major gifts, and he stayed active both on the Foundation board and as an ambassador for UTC after retiring as chancellor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Stacy was born and raised in Bristol, Tennessee, becoming the first person in his family to attend college. He earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in speech communication at Southeast Missouri State University and master\u2019s and doctoral degrees in the same discipline from Southern Illinois University.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.

Dr. Bill Stacy<\/p><\/div>\n

En route to earning his Ph.D., his dissertation centered on Harry S. Truman\u2019s campaign speaking during the 1948 election. Through \u201ca friend of a friend of a friend,\u201d as Dr. Stacy described it in a 2018 interview, he sat down face-to-face with Truman\u2014the 33rd President of the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow else can you say it except, \u2018You just got blessed. You got lucky,\u2019\u201d Dr. Stacy said. \u201cWhen I got ready for the paper portion of the Ph.D., I had a chance over a couple of years to interview him. Well, it was a great thing for me to be around the President of the United States to get to speak to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I think about that opportunity \u2026 this fellow from Bristol, Tennessee, interviewing President Truman. There is something that\u2019s blessed about that, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Stacy\u2019s road to UTC began at his alma mater, Southeast Missouri State, where he spent 10 years as president. He then had a rare opportunity in higher education, helping launch a new university from scratch as the founding president at California State University San Marcos.<\/p>\n

Dr. Stacy arrived in San Marcos in 1989 to preside over the building of the nation\u2019s first state university since the University of Texas-San Antonio was established in the mid-1960s. Among his many duties, he was responsible for the construction of the campus\u2019 physical plant, building a curriculum, assembling a faculty and recruiting a student body.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must admit that anybody who would have taken on that job needed to have his head examined just a little bit,\u201d Dr. Stacy joked in the 2018 interview. \u201cBut it was a splendid thing to go to San Marcos. It was a school that the public demanded and built; there were a lot of people fighting for campus approval from the state legislature. Once I started there, I worked with a lot of people\u2014and we had a chance to decide on the curriculum, to make sure that we were teaching what we wanted to teach rather than picking up and carrying on the way it had been going on for 50 or 100 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

After eight years in California and accomplishing most of what he sought to do there, Dr. Stacy interviewed for the UTC chancellor position and moved to Chattanooga, where he would lead another university transformation.<\/p>\n

Growing the campus\u2014then a 9-to-5, Monday-to-Friday commuter college that virtually all students left for the weekend\u2014was a top priority when Dr. Stacy took office. As he often said, he was struck by the constraints on growth that UTC\u2019s urban setting faced, but he had the vision to expand across McCallie Avenue.<\/p>\n

The expansion brought South Campus housing into existence. When Dr. Stacy took office, UTC enrollment was around 8,000 students, compared to nearly 12,000 today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went in the direction of trying to make the campus vibrant and alive,\u201d Dr. Stacy recalled in the 2018 interview. \u201cWe had some building to do and brought in the sense of vitality and gave this campus some life. It turned out wonderfully. It was really something to be in on the energizing and refurbishing of the campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

After his time as UTC chancellor, Dr. Stacy remained in Chattanooga and became the headmaster at Baylor School, a position he held until retiring in 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had one of those storybook lives,\u201d he said in 2018. \u201cAll of my education was a result of public education. I\u2019m the first kid in my family to go to college, and I\u2019ve had such fabulous opportunities. I feel like this has been the best career ever. It\u2019s been splendid, and the people have made it so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Stacy is survived by his wife of 34 years, Dr. Sue Stacy, and three children, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 13, at Ford and Sons Funeral Home in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, with a livestream on Facebook<\/a>. A private burial service will be held at the Fairdealing (Missouri) Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to United Way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
