UC Regents Appoint James B. Milliken as the 22nd President of the University of California.
The University of California Board of Regents has approved the appointment of James B. Milliken as the 22nd president of the UC system, following a vote at its May 2 meeting. A nationally recognized leader in public higher education, Milliken brings decades of experience, including serving as chancellor of the University of Texas System since 2018, chancellor of The City University of New York from 2014 to 2018, and president of the University of Nebraska from 2004 to 2014. His appointment follows a comprehensive national search led by the Board’s Special Committee on the Presidential Search. As president, Milliken will lead the 10-campus UC system, which serves more than 290,000 students, and will continue to advance the University’s mission of teaching, research, public service, and health care.
“Chancellor Milliken embodies the qualities and leadership experiences the University of California community needs at this moment,” said Janet Reilly, chair of the UC Board of Regents. “He understands how critical UC’s contributions are to the state and the country, and he has decades of experience leading public institutions during times of unprecedented change in higher education. Chancellor Milliken is simply the right person for UC at just the right time.”
