University of Florida President Kent Fuchs announced that 2022 will be his final year in office and that he plans to return to the classroom. He said he will stay on until a replacement is chosen, which he expects will be in early 2023. He then plans to teach electrical and computer engineering. Since taking office in 2015, Fuchs has raised UF’s profile as one of the nation’s top public universities, added 600 members to the faculty and raised over $4 billion from donors. But the last few months have been marked by controversy. Before coming to UF, Fuchs served as provost at Cornell University after teaching electrical and computer engineering there, at Purdue University and the University of Illinois. He has a bachelor’s degree from Duke University, a master’s and doctorate from Illinois and a masters of divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
