He also sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/leadership\/president\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/DW-Letter-to-BOT.pdf\">a letter to trustees<\/a> that laid out a path to a renewed relationship with the Legislature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlorida needs a Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ that serves our students and community without fear of what the future may bring,\u201d Whittaker wrote. \u201cGreat universities and our state depend on trust and transparency with a Legislature that shares in its values and mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Board\u2019s acceptance of the resignation is subject to a settlement agreement with President Whittaker that will be determined in the weeks ahead. The agreement will be negotiated by the Chairman and based on recommendations from the Board\u2019s Nominating and Governance Committee.<\/p>\n<p>The Board\u2019s action followed more than 90 minutes of public comments.<\/p>\n<p>Board Chairman Robert Garvy praised Whittaker\u2019s character and integrity, and his effort to correct the problems that led to the misspending of funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNevertheless, President Whittaker stated in his offer to resign his presidency that sometimes the finest leadership decisions are those that entrust future leadership to others. He has concluded that for Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ to heal wounds new leadership is required. Our loss will be some other institution\u2019s great gain,\u201d Garvy said. \u201cDale Whittaker has demonstrated great courage and sacrifice for the students, faculty and administration at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½. I believe we should honor his thoughtful and thoroughly considered offer to resign in the hope that the relationship between Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ and the Florida Legislature can be renewed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other trustees also praised Whittaker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDale Whittaker is a great leader,\u201d Trustee <strong>Alex Martins\u00a0\u201901MA<\/strong> said. \u201cHe is a leader of high character, integrity, a visionary, and as we\u2019ve heard, incredibly innovative. We\u2019ve been very fortunate to have him as president of this university. Above being a great leader, he understands it\u2019s about this great institution and not about Dale Whittaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three trustees\u00a0\u2014 trustee John Sprouls, faculty representative William Self and student representative and SGA President Josh Bolo\u00f1a \u2014 voted to reject the resignation.<\/p>\n<p>Seymour, vice president for partnerships and chief innovation officer, joined Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ in Fall 2015 to help lead the university\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/strategic-plan\/\">Collective Impact Strategic Planning<\/a> process. He was then appointed vice provost for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/downtown\/\">Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Downtown<\/a>, a campus that will open in August.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to coming to Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½, Seymour led strategic planning and business development for Lake Nona Medical City as senior vice president at Tavistock Development Company. He holds a bachelor\u2019s degree from Dartmouth College, a master\u2019s and doctorate from the University of Wisconsin, and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.<\/p>\n<p>Seymour\u2019s service as interim president will conclude when a long-term interim president takes office. The Board of Trustees\u2019 decision on an interim president is also subject to confirmation by the Florida Board of Governors, which oversees the state\u2019s 12 public universities.<\/p>\n<p>The Board also voted to continue with Trustee Garvy serving as chairman until July 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thad Seymour appointed short-term interim president. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":94165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"lazy_load_responsive_images_disabled":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[12127],"tu_author":[],"class_list":["post-94512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colleges","tag-dale-whittaker"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Board of Trustees Accepts President Whittaker\u2019s Resignation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On Feb. 21, the Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Board of Trustees accepted President Dale Whittaker&#039;s resignation.
