ATLANTA - The Georgia Board of Regents has announced that a retired University of Georgia administrator is the finalist to become the new chancellor of the University System of Georgia.
State Rep. Hank Huckaby is a Georgia native who retired in 2006 as the senior vice president for finance and administration at UGA, where he oversaw the university's $1 billion budget. In November, the regents launched a national search to replace Chancellor Erroll B. Davis, who retires June 30 after five years at the helm of the 300,000-student system.
By state law, the board must wait 14 days after naming finalists to officially vote on an appointment.
The Watkinsville Republican would take over a 35-campus system grappling with several years of deep budget cuts that have led to layoffs and slashed programs.
