The University of Akron has named law school dean Matthew Wilson interim president. He takes over for Scott Scarborough, who stepped down last May amid criticism over budget cuts and a failed attempt to rebrand the school. Wilson says his first priorities are improved enrollment, retention and graduation, and stabilized finances. The search for a permanent president has not started.
