The University of Tennessee Board of Trustees has announced a series of town hall meetings to gather input and feedback on the appointment of interim president Randy Boyd to the presidency of the UT System for a term of an additional five years.
Boyd has served as interim president since Nov. 2018.
According to a university email, the town hall meetings will be held during the following dates and are open to the community:
Wednesday, March 4 3 - 4:30 p.m. UT Chattanooga campus - University Center Auditorium
Thursday, March 5 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. UT Health Science Center – Student Alumni Center, OD Larry Dining Hall
Monday, March 9 3 - 4:30 p.m. UT Knoxville campus – Student Union, Pilot Flying J Ballroom B&C Tuesday, March 10 3 - 4:30 p.m. UT Martin – Boling University Center, Phillip Watkins Auditorium
Wednesday, March 11* 1 - 2:30 p.m. Nashville – UT Polk Avenue Building
In addition to the final live town hall, the session will also be streamed live for UT employees. The board will also host a question and answer session.
According to the email, at its winter meeting on Feb. 19, the UT Board of Trustees began its conversation to consider removing the interim from Boyd's title.
The board made the decision to recommend the consideration based on Boyd's review process. They still want to hear from UT students, faculty and staff regarding their opinion of his performance.
