Judy G. Hample, Ph.D. (born 1948) is chancellor of the 107,000 student Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE). She is the second chancellor since the system's inception in 1982 [1]. She has served as PASSHE's chief executive officer since her August 2001 appointment. Hample oversees Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities--the largest being Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

[edit] Professional History
Prior to her appointment in Pennsylvania, Hample served the Florida Board of Regents as vice chancellor for planning, budgeting and policy analysis (1998-2000), executive vice chancellor (1999-2000), and chancellor (2001). She also served as a member of the faculty at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and held administrative positions at Western Illinois University, Emporia State University (Kansas; 1983-86), Indiana State University (1986-93), and University of Toledo (Ohio; 1993-1998).

[edit] Chancellor
In 2001 Hample became the second chancellor in PASSHE history. Much of her work is centered at the Dixon University Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She communicates regularly with presidents of the 14 constituent system universities and reports to an appointed Board of Governors. Her tenure as the system's CEO has not always been easy.
Hample has experienced some difficulties with the faculty union which came near striking in 2004. In addition, she has worked to streamline various components of PASSHE operations. [3] Her initiative to reduce all programs system-wide to 120 credits met opposition from student and faculty groups who believe academic independence was being attacked. This led to rallies on various system campuses. [4] Despite some difficulties, Hample continues to enjoy the support of PASSHE's Board of Governors. Her current contract expires in 2009.
