[Chuck Kovis]

SAN FRANCISCO — The California State University system has selected a 
new chancellor to lead the nation's largest collection of four-year 
colleges.

University officials said Thursday that Timothy P. White, currently the 
chancellor of the University of California, Riverside, will take charge 
of the 23-campus system.

The 63-year-old White will replace Charles Reed, who is retiring after 
14 years.

White is expected to start the job at the end of December and will 
receive an annual salary of $421,500, the same as Reed.

"I am humbled to have been chosen to lead the California State 
University system at such a transformative time," said White said in a 
statement.

CSU Board Chair Bob Linscheid said White had the experience and 
background needed to lead the Cal State system.

"His demonstrated leadership and commitment to student success are the 
right combination for the university's future," Linscheid said in a 
statement.

White served as the eighth chancellor of 21,000-student UC Riverside 
since 2008. He was previously president of the University of Idaho.

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, White is married with four sons.
