Texas A&M VP for information technology resigns
A well-respected veteran administrator for Texas A&M information technology recently announced his plans to resign from the position and return to teaching and research.
Pierce Cantrell, who has served as vice president and associate provost for information technology for 16 years, will leave the position June 15 and resume his faculty responsibilities with the department of electrical and computer engineering, where he is a tenured professor, according to a staff memo issued by Karan Watson, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs.
Cantrell has been commended by his peers for the improvements he's made to information technology infrastructure that have increased the accessibility and capabilities of technology for students, staff and faculty across the university.
"Pierce has been a consummate professional and leader in enhancing our information technology capabilities in teaching and research," Watson said in the memo emailed to faculty members. "He has kept us at the cutting edge with limited resources during the highest period of technological advancement the world has ever seen."

[font color=maroon]Another resignation among many at Texas A&M that have occurred recently. John Sharp has exerted his control as chancellor since being installed by Rick Perry. I never trusted him and he is one of the few so-called Democrats in Texas that I refused to vote for when he was on the ballot.[/font]
