The University of Arkansas System Board of Trustees has selected Charles Robinson as the chancellor of the Fayetteville campus. The vote was unanimous during the board’s regular meeting Wednesday in Monticello.
Robinson, the provost and executive vice chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs at the UA, has been interim chancellor since Aug. 16, 2021.
The University of Arkansas confirmed the board’s decision with a social media post on Wednesday morning. A public vote by the board was to be held on Friday on the Fayetteville campus to determine who will be the flagship university’s next chancellor. However, board chairman Cliff Gibson left open the possibility the issue could be resolved before then.
