ACC Council of Presidents Announces Constitution and By-Law Changes

[OrangeXtreme]

The Atlantic Coast Conference Council of Presidents announced today that it has unanimously adopted a series of changes to the ACC Constitution and By-Laws that will go into effect on July 1, thus enabling the leadership to more effectively engage in best practices across all levels of its governance and administration. In particular, the 15 league presidents and chancellors will now serve as the ACC’s Board of Directors and continue to have ultimate authority over all conference affairs.

Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud will serve as the Chair of the Board, while Duke University President Vincent Price will serve as Vice-Chair, and ACC Commissioner John Swofford will also be the Conference’s Chief Executive Officer. The Chair and Vice-Chair of the Board will each serve an initial term of one year, and their respective successors will serve two-year terms.

I'd imagine for Kent to be selected as the chair of the board, his colleagues must really respect him, the work he does, and the leadership he brings.

The fact that Duke's president is Vincent Price is further proof of the evilness of that whole school.

Maybe Kent is just gaming the system...if he takes the initial 1-year hitch now he (or SU) may not need to serve again for 7 years until SU comes up in the rotation for a 2-yr stint.
