Rue ponders leaving U.Va. for chancellor job at UNC
By Mary Pumphrey | September 11, 2003After four years at the University, Dean of Students Penny Rue may be saying goodbye. Rue is on the short list of candidates for the vice chancellor of student affairs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she began her career 20 years ago as an area director for UNC's housing department. Rue had previously been senior associate dean of students at Georgetown University, beginning in 1987. From 1981 to 1987, she was a staff member at the University of Maryland while working on her doctorate in counseling and personnel services. UNC's vice chancellor for student affairs search committee is expected to reach a decision on which candidate to recommend to administrators by the end of the week, committee chair Laurie Mesibov said. The final decision will be made by UNC's chancellor and provost. UNC officials began trying to fill the position last February, and received over 70 applications.
