MONROE, La. (KTVE/KARD)– On Tuesday, January 21, 2025, the University of Louisiana Monroe President Dr. Ron Berry announced in an email to the ULM employees that he would be stepping down as president and returning to his role as a professor.


quote:

According to officials, Berry has served as the ninth president of ULM since September 2020. During his time as president, he has overseen the creation of a strategic plan, the building of the HUB, and the acquisition of the Clarke M. Williams Innovation Campus, a gift from Lumen Technologies.

Berry will continue being President of ULM until a new president is hired and in place.

Is that part about nine university presidents since September 2020 true?

The ULM website stops with Bruno June 30, 2020.

Nine university presidents in less than five years doesn't sound correct.

ETA: I misunderstood the statement in the article. He served as the ninth president of the university, beginning in 2020.

Any idea who might be replace him?

Damn. Dr. Berry seemed like the right guy for ULM tbh. I thought he was a great president. Seems like his heart is really in teaching though.

I wonder what it's like being the college president of one of these schools. It's probably ok- administrative duties, good salary, and you get a sweet retirement package. You have to manage enrollment and trouble in various programs, and hope your little town doesn't decline too far.

On the other hand there's a job like UNO president. Yikes. I wonder if the current president took the job knowing she's going to have to basically preside over shutting the place down, and will never get to run any college again after this. Maybe they guaranteed her some kind of state retirement deal.

First thing ULM needs to do is change their name to a more nationally attractive name so they can attract a more regionally diverse student population.

Not really on topic, but I had many of a fine evening at the old Airport Lounge.
