Kansas State University Provost Chuck Taber is calling it a career.
In a letter to the university community Tuesday, the provost and executive vice president said he will retire following the 2023 fall semester. Taber came to K-State in 2018, after spending 29 years at Stony Brook, where he served in a variety of roles, including as dean of the graduate school and vice provost for graduate and professional education.
Taber says he is immensely proud of the accomplishments over the past five years and intends to spend more time with family and focusing on his music.
Taber helped lead the university during a period of declining enrollment, the COVID-19 pandemic and budget cuts. He’s been involved with K-State President Richard Linton on crafting the NextGen K-State strategic plan as well as implementation of the Strategic Enrollment Management and Budget Modernization initiatives.
No word yet on how the university plans to fill Taber’s position.
