Statement on the passing of former president, Ë¿¹ÏappKC chancellor
fougerej
I am saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. George Russell who served both as Ë¿¹Ïapp System president and Ë¿¹ÏappKC chancellor. Dr. Russell’s decisive leadership greatly strengthened the university. Most notably under his tenure, the university introduced a robust financial plan to realign its resources on a scale unmatched in the country. His efforts allowed the Ë¿¹Ïapp System to answer critical needs including competitive faculty recruitment, infrastructure maintenance and repair and enhancement of student financial aid, among many others. His legacy of public stewardship remains strong in Missouri higher education.
Michael Middleton, interim president
