News From the 4th Branch: Katsouleas Out as President.

A stunning scoop from The Courant: Thomas Katsouleas submitted his resignation as the University of Connecticut’s president in March. His official departure date is June 30th, though his landing gear appears to have been engaged for some time.

The public was not told of this major development at the state’s premier public university.

What Governor Ned Lamont knew of this development and when he knew it will cause considerable interest. So will the cost of Katsouleas staying on as a member of the faculty, if he decides to do that. The public university is paying a hefty tariff for Katsouleas’s predecessor, Susan Herbst, to teach a course each semester at the public university’s Stamford branch.
