It won’t be the first time she is stepping into a leading position there during a time of crisis. Epps was named provost in 2016 when Hai-Lung Dai was removed by president Neil D. Theobald who was later forced to resign.
JoAnne A. Epps, a former Temple law school dean and provost who has spent nearly 40 years at the university, is expected to be named acting president by the board of trustees Tuesday afternoon.
Epps, 71, of Shamong, N.J., was among the top names circulating last month as a possible replacement for Jason Wingard,after less than two years on the job. His resignation came as he faced a no-confidence vote by the Temple Association of University Professionals, the faculty union. “I am obviously humbled and excited and really looking forward to being able to make a contribution to the university that I so love,” Epps said in an exclusive interview.
