University of Idaho President Tim White has been named chancellor of the University of California-Riverside.

University of California Regents on Thursday approved UCR President Robert Dynes’ recommendation to hire White, who has served as UI’s president since 2004. White, 58, will leave the Moscow school effective June 30 and begin his duties at UC-Riverside on Sept. 1.

As chancellor of UC-Riverside, White will receive an annual salary of $325,000, as well as university-provided housing, an automobile allowance, a $25,000 relocation allowance, and other benefits; White’s base salary at Idaho was just under $292,000, plus similar amenities.

The Idaho Board of Regents will outline the next steps concerning appointment of an interim president and the process by which a search for the UI’s next president will take place.

UCR’s previous chancellor left in June to become president of Purdue University.
