U.Va. treasurer decides to step down

President John T. Casteen announced Wednesday that Alice Handy, who has been with the University for almost 30 years, will step down as treasurer once a replacement can be found.

Handy's management of the Universities endowment has brought it from a low of $60 million to its current $1.8 billion. The Universities endowment is one of the largest in the country among public universities and top-25 among all universities.

Handy will pursue private business interests after leaving the University, although she intends to remain active in the University community.
