THIBODAUX — Dr. Bruce T. Murphy has informed the Board of Supervisors of the University of Louisiana System of his decision to transition from the presidency of the University.\u00a0 Dr. Murphy, who plans to engage in other strategic initiatives in higher education, is the fifth President in the history of ÐÓ°É´«Ã½.\u00a0 Dr. Murphy expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve the University and appreciation for the accomplishments made during his tenure.\u00a0 Dr. Murphy has elected to transition from his presidency at end of the 2017 calendar year.<\/p>\n

Dr. Murphy, who also holds the military rank and distinction of Lieutenant Colonel, came to ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ State in January 2014 following eight and a half years of service as Vice President for Academic Affairs of the Air Force\u2019s Air University in Montgomery, Ala.\u00a0 Dr. Murphy was successful in leading ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ from \u201cWarning\u201d status under the regional accreditor (SACSCOC) to full accreditation within six months<\/span> of his arrival, as he brought laser focus in addressing concerns with the applicable Principles of Accreditation.\u00a0 Subsequently, in its decennial review, President Murphy\u2019s leadership and guidance were key to a reaffirmation of accreditation that resulted in a perfect evaluation by SACSCOC reviewers.<\/p>\n

During Dr. Murphy\u2019s tenure, a number of universities across the country struggled with enrollment.\u00a0 ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ State was not only able to sustain student population during Dr. Murphy\u2019s presidency, but the University has increased enrollment for four semesters in a row.\u00a0 The past year has seen freshman retention reach an all-time high, which surpassed the University\u2019s record for freshman retention set the previous year.\u00a0 The University\u2019s retention success under Dr. Murphy was evident when ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ State was cited as one of 52 institutions nationwide that stood out for substantially improving overall graduation rates while also achieving gains for black students, as noted in the Education Trust\u2019s 2016 report \u201cRising Tide: Do College Grad Rate Gains Benefit All Students?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

In working to support the talented University faculty, Dr. Murphy\u2019s management of fiscal affairs was critical to the University\u2019s ability to provide salary adjustments to the faculty in 3 of the 4 years of his presidency.\u00a0 This improved financial standing also allowed the University to address the salary inversion of over 20 faculty members.<\/p>\n

Dr. Murphy also enhanced the University\u2019s shared governance process in the establishment of his presidential cabinet (which included the faculty senate president), University Council (which included student government representation), space utilization board, and committees for budget review and personnel openings.\u00a0 His engaged leadership increased transparency with broad representation in interactions between the presidential cabinet and the University Council inclusive of faculty, students, unclassified employee representatives, campus police and others. His efforts and strategic vision will continue to be of benefit after the conclusion of his presidency.<\/p>\n
