Amherst College has selected the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison as its next president, marking the first time that a woman will lead the 190-year-old liberal arts institution.
Carolyn Arthur "Biddy" Martin, 60, one of the nation's top openly gay university leaders, will become Amherst's 19th president in August. She's scheduled to visit campus on Thursday for an all-college meeting.

Francisco Cigarroa, president of the UT Health Science Center, has been named the sole finalist for chancellor of the University of Texas System, the state's largest and most prestigious network of colleges.
The UT Board of Regents unanimously approved the choice after meeting for several hours in a closed, executive session. The only other candidate for the job was AT&T executive John Montford, a former state senator from Lubbock and former chancellor of the Texas Tech University System from 1996 to 2001.
``We are extremely pleased Dr. Cigarroa has agreed to be considered for the position of UT system chancellor,'' said UT Regent Chairman H. Scott Caven. ``The UT System is a national leader in higher education and health care, therefore the selection of a chancellor is one of the most important decisions this governing board will make.''
