umass: It seemingly shifts the blame away from J. Keith Motley, who stepped down as UMass Boston chancellor in 2017 after 10 years at the helm of the campus amid reports of a multimillion dollar deficit, according to The Independent. Since Motley's departure, the campus has seen two interim chancellors, with the collapse of a search for a permanent leader in between. The scathing report points to UMass President Martin Meehan and the system's board of trustees as having brought about the crisis by approving a campus expansion plan without the reserves to pay for it. A new search is just now getting underway. It was unfair, said Greg Sullivan, co-author of the think tank's report and a former state inspector general. Our conclusion is that former UMass Boston chancellor Keith Motley was a scapegoat in large part for the events that happened there.
