Leaders of the University of Virginia on Monday elected Teresa A. Sullivan, provost at the University of Michigan, to succeed John T. Casteen III as president of Virginia's higher education flagship.
Sullivan, 60, starts work Aug. 1 in a post regarded as one of the most visible in public higher education. She will receive an annual compensation package of $680,000 and will be the first female president of U-Va., the school founded in 1825 as an "academical village" by Thomas Jefferson.
Like many in the top echelons of academe, Sullivan is regarded as both a scholar and an accomplished administrator. She has served as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at Michigan, one of the nation's most prestigious public universities, since 2006.
