LSU President Wade Rousse has announced the members of the committee that will select the next LSU New Orleans chancellor by the end of the year. The university was previously led by Kathy Johnson, who served as president of the University of New Orleans from 2023 until shortly before the school left the University of Louisiana System for the LSU System and adopted LSU’s branding.

Committee Members

The search committee will be chaired by Nick Mueller, a former UNO vice chancellor. Members include Boysie Bollinger, a New Orleans business magnate and ally of Gov. Jeff Landry, Bobby Savoie, Loyola University’s business dean, an LSU alumnus and prominent donor to UNO, and several other notable figures from the New Orleans community.

According to Rousse, the new chancellor must strengthen public trust, expand enrollment and research activity, and position LSU New Orleans as a model for modern urban higher education. The committee will get its first look at the applicant pool on August 25, with the goal of selecting a finalist in December.
