Former UNC Charlotte Chancellor Jim Woodward of Charlotte has been tapped to serve as interim chancellor at N.C. State, where he once taught, while the university searches for a replacement for former N.C. State Chancellor Jim Oblinger. Oblinger resigned this morning.
UNC President Erskine Bowles said, "I am extremely grateful that UNC Charlotte Chancellor Emeritus Jim Woodward—an aeronautical and mechanical engineer who taught at NC State early in his career—has agreed on very short notice to serve as interim chancellor. I will of course be working closely with NC State Board of Trustees Chairman Bob Jordan to launch a search for a permanent chancellor and to ensure that the campus doesn’t lose momentum in the months ahead."
Here's a link to Bowles' letter to the UNC Board of Governors.
