Former UF provost Joe Glover is returning to his post after less than a month at the University of Arizona — the first major shakeup in university leadership since former UF President Kent Fuchs returned to his post Aug. 1.
Glover announced Tuesday night in a letter to UA faculty that he would be stepping down as the school’s provost to return to UF. According to the letter, Fuchs asked Glover to resume his duties at UF, which is “undergoing a major transition” following former UF President Ben Sasse’s abrupt resignation in July.
Outgoing provost Scott Angle, who Sasse appointed in February, wrote Wednesday morning in a separate letter to UF faculty he would return to his previous role as head of UF/IFAS effective Sept. 6.
