Following a sabbatical leave, she’ll return to teaching and research. At MIT, the chancellor has responsibility for “all things students”: graduate and undergraduate education, student life, student services, and other areas that affect the student experience.
In sharing the news of Chancellor Barnhart’s decision, President Reif wrote that he has launched a search to fill the role. MIT News checked in with him about the search and what he’s looking for in MIT’s next chancellor.

Cynthia Barnhart SM ’86, PhD ’88 will step down from her role as chancellor and return to the faculty on July 1, President L. Rafael Reif announced today in an email to the MIT community.
During her seven years at the post, Barnhart and her team took a range of actions to make MIT a more caring environment where support is easier to find. She oversaw an expansion of student health and wellness programs, launched a campaign to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct on campus, and focused on new efforts to enhance undergraduate and graduate education.
“From the start, she has been a fearless advocate for student wellbeing, a calm, insistent force for new thinking and creative change, and one of my most trusted and thoughtful advisors,” Reif wrote to the community.
