Dean Boyer is actually one year OLDER than President Zimmer. The University is fortunate to have two dynamic and innovative leaders in Boyer and Zimmer but they are not getting any younger. Boyer’s term is up in 2022. I am quite sure the question of a successor has started already in the Board of Trustee and it is quite likely in two years both of them will yield their places to two much younger fine candidates.
Obviously the campus has been quiet since late March. In the past once five or six weeks I might see Dean Boyer riding his bike to school with his signature black high top sneakers. He seemed to be in good health 6 months ago. But I doubt he would want another term in 2022.
