Nancy Cantor to head Rutgers University's Newark campus, Star-Ledger reports

Syracuse University's outgoing chancellor, Nancy Cantor, will take over as head of Rutgers University's Newark campus, the Star-Ledger reported this morning.

From the story:
"Cantor, 61, said she was not looking to take on another college leadership job, but was approached about taking the $385,000-a-year position and was attracted to the racially-diverse, urban campus. She will report to Rutgers President Robert Barchi.
'I wasn't on the lookout for a new presidency for myself," Cantor said. "Honestly, this was so in my wheelhouse ... that it just drew me to it.'

"But Cantor's appointment -- scheduled to be announced at a 1 p.m. Rutgers Board of Governors meeting -- is also expected to draw some uncomfortable comparisons between Rutgers' recent basketball scandal and a similar controversy that marred Cantor's decade-long tenure at Syracuse."
