PASSHE Chancellor Judy G. Hample plans to leave by July 2008



Harrisburg - Dr. Judy G. Hample, who has served as chancellor of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) since August 2001, has informed PASSHE's Board of Governors that she plans to leave her position no later than July 31, 2008.



"It has been my goal since coming to Pennsylvania to help improve the quality and value of the education students receive at each of the PASSHE Universities," Dr. Hample said. "I am proud of the tremendous progress we have made, working together with the Board of Governors, the Councils of Trustees, the University presidents and the outstanding faculty and staff on all of the campuses and in the Office of the Chancellor.



"The exceptional accomplishments of the past six years are undeniable and have proven to skeptics and proponents alike that PASSHE can and will deliver results. I believe that PASSHE is now well on its way toward living up to the expectations of a high-performing 'system' in the manner that matters most - providing a high quality educational experience by leveraging the talent and resources of 14 independent institutions."



Board of Governors Chairman Kenneth M. Jarin praised Dr. Hample's outstanding service, which, he said, "has led PASSHE to the next level of excellence."



"The implementation of the System Accountability Program and the expansion of performance funding have made PASSHE a national model," Mr. Jarin said. "Record-setting enrollment, improved student retention and graduation rates, enhancement of the ethnic and racial diversity of PASSHE students and campuses, higher quality academic programming and the selection of talented, ethnically and gender diverse university presidents are only a few examples of Chancellor Hample's commitment and drive to make PASSHE Universities the best value in higher education in Pennsylvania."
