Curators vote to combine MU chancellor, UM system president positions

The University of Missouri System is combining two of its top positions.

The board of curators voted unanimously Tuesday that Mun Choi will continue serving as both system president and Mizzou chancellor. Choi has served in both posts since late March, when he took over as interim chancellor following Alexander Cartwright’s departure.

The university says the move could save the school $10 million a year.

The board’s resolution also calls for a Council of Chancellors to make sure all four campuses are heard in the decision-making process. That has been a concern for some groups on the St. Louis, Kansas City, and Rolla campuses.
