UCSD’s first ever Vice Chancellor of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Linda S. Greene will leave La Jolla and return to teaching in Wisconsin, effective Dec. 31, 2013. Greene, who began her tenure on Jan. 1 of this year, will return to teaching as the Evjue-Bascom Professor of Law at University of Wisconsin-Madison, according to a letter obtained by the Guardian today.

“Vice Chancellor Greene has engaged a wide range of campus and community stakeholders in the development of a diversity strategic plan for UC San Diego that embraces equity, diversity and inclusion as core values,” a letter addressed to members of UCSD’s Committee on Campus Climate and co-signed by Chancellor Pradeep Khosla and Executive Vice Chancellor Suresh Subramani said. “An interim Vice Chancellor will be named shortly.”

It is unknown whether Greene was dismissed or whether she resigned from the position. An official letter will be released to the general UCSD student, faculty and staff body later today.
