The Connecticut State Colleges and University system has picked Terrence Cheng as its next president. The state Board of Regents for Higher Education on Friday unanimously approved Cheng for the post at an annual salary of $360,000.
Speaking in New Haven Friday, Cheng promised to emphasize racial equity in his new post, saying his parents immigrated to the United States from Taiwan so that he could have a better life.
“It is a surreal experience for me to be here right now, to have this charge, to have this responsibility bestowed upon me,” Cheng said. “And it is going to be one of my life’s greatest challenges and one of my life’s greatest honors.”
