Rutgers University President Jonathan Holloway to Step Down Next Year

Holloway, the first Black president of Rutgers, announces departure after navigating significant challenges and achievements since 2020.

Jonathan Holloway will leave his position as Rutgers University President at the end of the academic year on June 30, 2025.
Holloway plans to take a yearlong sabbatical before returning to Rutgers as a full-time professor.
During his tenure, Holloway faced the COVID-19 pandemic, a historic faculty strike, and a symbolic no-confidence vote by the faculty senate.
Under Holloway's leadership, Rutgers broke records in undergraduate admissions, climbed national rankings, and exceeded fundraising goals.
The university will conduct a national search to find Holloway's successor, aiming to continue its trajectory of growth and improvement.
