Vice Provost for Research Rick McCullough, who fostered strong partnerships and helped grow the University’s research output over his near decade in the role, has been named president of Florida State University (FSU). McCullough was unanimously selected by the FSU’s Board of Trustees in May and by the system’s Board of Governors on Wednesday.
“Rick is a consummate problem-solver,” said Provost Alan M. Garber. “He has used his formidable analytic and people skills to bring people together to tackle major challenges, from COVID to research computing to climate change. And his influence extends beyond Harvard to the broader Massachusetts research ecosystem and to the nation. By developing trusted partnerships and adopting a ‘let’s get this done,’ solutions-oriented approach, Rick has been consistently successful. Harvard has been truly fortunate to benefit from Rick’s leadership, and we take great pride in his appointment at FSU.”

The complaints from frontline users of the Trader Support Service (TSS) came as the UK and the EU prepared for critical talks on Thursday to resolve mounting issues with the Northern Irish Protocol that has caused growing political tensions.
