President of Rutgers University
- President of Rutgers University
The President of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (also known as Rutgers University) is the chief administrator of Rutgers University and—in an "ex officio" capacity—a presiding officer within the University's 59-member Board of Trustees and its eleven-member Board of Governors. Appointed by these bodies to the post and delegated authority to run the day-to-day operation of the University, the President is responsible to those bodies alone.
The first president, Reverend Jacob Rutsen Hardenbergh, was appointed to the office in 1785—in the days when Rutgers was called "Queen's College" (1766-1824). Since then, nineteen men have served as president of the institution. The current president is Richard Levis McCormick (b. 1947), who has served in this position since 2002.
