Chancellor Terrence Cheng's contract with the Connecticut State Colleges and University system will not be renewed amidst controversies over his spending. While officials credited him with a 4.4 percent enrollment increase and consolidating community colleges, concerns about fiscal transparency led to scrutiny of his lavish expenses. Cheng's tenure was fraught with challenges, including pushback from lawmakers, especially after reports of excessive spending on meals and transportation. Despite his departure, some legislators worry about his ongoing role as a strategic adviser. An interim chancellor will be appointed soon to guide the system forward.
Chancellor Terrence Cheng will not have his contract renewed due to recent spending controversies, but he will continue as a strategic adviser until further notice.
