Chancellor to serve on federal panel
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced Tuesday that he has appointed the state's higher education chancellor to a federal board that advises the U.S. secretary of education.
Dan Klaich has served as the Nevada System of Higher Education's chancellor since June. He previously had served on the system's governing Board of Regents and in other administrative positions within the system. He is a 1972 graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno.
His appointment is to the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity. It meets biannually and advises the secretary on the accreditation and certification for institutions.
"Chancellor Klaich is a product of the University of Nevada and represents the quality of our state's institutions of higher education," Reid said. "I am confident that, with the chancellor's background and experience, he will provide an important perspective and be a valuable member of the committee."
