He has overseen record growth on the campuses, and in the case of UTC we are on target to grow the student body again in fall 2009.\u00a0 The UT System is well on its way to a successful $1 billion Campaign for Tennessee, launched under Dr. Petersen, and here in Chattanooga, we have raised more than $46 million toward our $65 million campaign goal,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n<p>Petersen will be on administrative leave with pay beginning March 1 through June 30. Simek will be acting president from March 1 through June 30 and will become interim on July 1.
