MACOMB, Ill. (AP) - Trustees at Western Illinois University approved a 2 1/2-year contract with the school’s new president Friday and set the salary at $320,000 a year.
Guiyou Huang starts Jan. 1. He’s been president since July 2019 at Edinboro University in Edinboro, Pennsylvania.
“I want to talk to the students - minority students, all students - to hear their concerns and know how I can support them,” Huang told the Quad-City Times.
WIU trustees unanimously chose Huang on Nov. 16. Jack Thomas was president for eight years. Martin Abraham served as interim president for 18 months.
