Northwestern’s Board of Trustees named Mung Chiang as president, succeeding former President Michael Schill, whose resignation took effect after months of campus conflict over how protests were handled. Interim President Henry Bienen will remain until the end of June as Chiang begins July 1. The move lands amid a broader governance and leadership accountability spotlight: reports tie Schill’s exit to internal turmoil over protest management, and Chiang’s prior leadership at Purdue positions him as a new stabilizing figure for a university navigating political and campus-climate pressures. In Connecticut, the chair of the state’s Board of Regents for the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities resigned, weeks after an interim chancellor stepped down amid sexual harassment allegations. The system has hired an outside firm to investigate potential ongoing harm. For higher education leaders, these announcements show how quickly governance turnover is following crisis disclosures—prompting new board-level expectations on compliance, workplace safety, and campus-community handling.
