Chancellor Justin Schwartz today announced a shift in the structure of CU Boulder’s Strategic Resources and Support (SRS) division. This reorganization comes following Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer Patrick O’Rourke’s announcement that he will leave his role at CU Boulder at the end of December and reflects a next step in the chancellor’s vision for the university’s executive leadership team.

“Evolving the reporting structure of these business units will allow the university to more effectively and efficiently execute its mission, vision and goals,” Schwartz said. “I am excited for this new organizational structure and I’ll be evaluating its effectiveness through the end of the academic year to determine what further changes may be needed.”

Additional changes in the leadership’s organizational structure may occur as the new vice chancellor for strategic initiatives, vice chancellor for sustainability and new provost arrive on campus in the first half of 2025.

Schwartz announced the following changes:

• Strategic Relations and Communications (SRC), led by Jon Leslie, and Finance and Business Strategy (FBS), led by Todd Haggerty, will report to Schwartz
• The Infrastructure and Resilience (I&R) unit, led by Chris Ewing, will report to Haggerty as part of the FBS team.
• Enrollment Management (EM), led by Amy Hutton, will begin reporting to the Office of the Provost.
• Human Resources, the Office of Information Technology, the Division of Public Safety, Health and Wellness Services and the Office of Compliance, Ethics and Policy will report to Jennifer McDuffie, who will serve as interim senior vice chancellor for operations. McDuffie will report to Schwartz and become a member of the chancellor’s cabinet and executive committee.
• The SRC, FBS, I&R and EM executives will continue to participate in SRS leadership meetings to ensure the coordination of efforts continues after the transition. Associate Vice Chancellor for Institutional Equity and Compliance and Title IX Coordinator Llen Pomeroy, who reports to Valerie Simons at the CU system office, will also continue to participate as a member of the SRS leadership team.

In connection with these shifts, Haggerty has been promoted to senior vice chancellor of finance and business strategy in recognition of his additional responsibilities. Hutton and Marlon Lynch, associate vice chancellor for public safety, will both be promoted to vice chancellor.

Additionally, Massimo Ruzzene has been promoted to senior vice chancellor for research and innovation and dean of the institutes in recognition of the depth and scope of the RIO portfolio.
