The interim president of UH-Victoria was announced by UH System Chancellor Renu Khator.
Raymond Victor Morgan Jr. was selected last week, and he will take office on April 21.
“The appointment of such a prominent and knowledgeable higher education executive reflects the great value we place on the University of Houston-Victoria and our continuing commitment to UH-V’s development into a premier destination university,” Khator said in an email.
Morgan is serving as the president emeritus and professor of mathematics at the Sul Ross State University in Alpine, and he is the first faculty member to have been promoted to president at the University, according to a press release. He had been in that position for 19 years.
