URBANA — A University of Minnesota dean has been chosen to serve as the next vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, pending approval by the UI Board of Trustees. The appointment of John Coleman to the UI post is set to take effect July 19. Until the board approves his appointment, his title will be vice chancellor-designee, university officials announced Wednesday. Coleman is currently the dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota.
