KNOXVILLE – Tennessee’s Board of Trustees has approved the selection of Donde Plowman as chancellor for the university’s Knoxville campus.
Trustees approved the hire at a confirmation hearing Friday, a week after the university announced the selection of Plowman.
Plowman has been working as executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She will take over as Tennessee’s chancellor July 1 and will receive a base salary of $600,000.
Plowman said in a statement that “there has never been a better time to be a Volunteer, and I am ready to hit the ground running.”
Plowman previously worked on Tennessee’s faculty and led the Haslam College of Business’ management department.
