William Tate IV Named President at Rutgers University

William F. Tate IV has been appointed the 22nd president of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Dr. Tate comes to Rutgers from the presidency of Louisiana State University, where he led one of the country’s largest and most complex public university systems, encompassing multiple campuses, academic health system partnerships, and the flagship institution in Baton Rouge.

“When the presidential search committee began the search for Rutgers’ next president, with community input, we sought a transformative leader who embodies Rutgers’ values and our multi-campus identity – someone who is intentional, collaborative and unafraid to think big – someone who understands well the broad, higher education environment and sees the unique opportunities for Rutgers to succeed through it all. Dr. Tate is that extraordinary leader, a scholar, an innovator and a transformative force whose vision will unite academic excellence with public impact,” said Board of Governors Chair Amy L. Towers. “I am confident that Dr. Tate’s strategic vision and approach to leadership make him very much the right leader at the right moment for Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.”

WittKieffer’s Zachary Smith, PhD, Kimberly Smith, Robin Mamlet, and Christine Pendleton led this search.
