Could Perry be the next president? A&M president to resign in January.
Texas A&M University President R. Bowen Loftin has announced that he intends to step down in January.
Loftin, 64, was named the 24th president of A&M in February 2010. In a press release sent out by the university on Friday, Loftin announced his intent to serve as a tenured professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering in the Dwight Look College of Engineering. Loftin also plans to establish an institute at A&M to will focus on advanced, state-of-the-art modeling and simulation in human behavioral modeling in terrorist organizations and the spread of diseases among human and animal populations.
“That being said, I do miss the opportunity to teach and do research — activities that have characterized my long career in higher education,” Loftin said in a prepared statement released Friday. “I look forward to teaching and mentoring ’my’ students and to leading multidisciplinary research teams in creating new knowledge and transforming that knowledge into useful applications.”
Loftin, A&M class of 1970, helped guide Texas A&M through its transition from the Big XII to the Southeastern athletic conference.
