Sharon Brehm will step down as chancellor of Indiana University Bloomington and as IU vice president for academic affairs, effective Dec. 31. Brehm provided her resignation to IU President Adam W. Herbert Oct. 29.
The chancellor will become senior adviser to the president, beginning Jan. 1, and also will undertake a study of the status of women in higher education.
“I am grateful to Sharon for her service as chancellor of the Bloomington campus. She has worked on some very difficult issues, including the aftermath of Sept. 11, expanding international opportunities for students, strategic planning processes and efforts to promote diversity,” Herbert said. “I appreciate her willingness to accept a new role within the university that can give prominence to an important issue and provide me with essential advice and counsel that will enable Indiana University to maintain a leadership position among the country’s most prestigious research institutions.”
The president is expected to name an interim chancellor in the near future; the interim appointment would continue until a search for a chancellor is completed during the 2004-05 academic year.
