A committee has been named to conduct the search for the next chancellor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, UT System President Joe DiPietro announced.<\/p>\n

UT Institute of Agriculture Chancellor Larry Arrington will chair the 24-member search committee, which includes faculty, staff, students, alumni and community representatives.<\/p>\n

Roger Brown, UTC chancellor since 2005, announced his intentions to retire last month. He agreed to remain in office until March 31, 2013 or until a new chancellor can be installed.<\/p>\n

The committee\u2019s first meeting is expected to take place in August. The search firm Parker Executive Search has been hired to assist the committee with identifying, qualifying and recruiting prospective candidates, and with vetting finalists. The committee will recommend one or more finalists to DiPietro, who will then submit his choice to the UT Board of Trustees for approval.<\/p>\n

\u201cUTC is both a vital part of the University of Tennessee System and critical to the Chattanooga area and the region it serves,\u201d DiPietro said. \u201cWe are committed to finding the highest caliber of leadership to continue the progress made since Dr. Brown\u2019s arrival seven years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
