Gov. Ned Lamont appointed Ari Santiago as the new interim chair for Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education, the governing body for Connecticut State Colleges and Universities Friday.
Santiago will take over for Marty Guay, who stepped earlier this week after chancellor Dr.John Maduko resigned last month amid an investigation into sexual harassment claims against him.
Santiago has been a member of the board since 2020, when he was appointed by Lamont.
"As an entrepreneur who started a one-man IT company in Hartford and then turned it into a nationally recognized organization, Ari has unique experience both in the development of cutting-edge, technology solutions, and also operating a business that meets the needs of hundreds of customers and provides employment to workers here in Connecticut. I am proud that Connecticut’s public higher education institutions are consistently ranked among the best in the nation and recognized for their achievements in educational excellence and academic success. The top mission of our CSCU schools must be to provide students with the innovative, forward-thinking skills needed to obtain long-lasting careers in good-paying jobs, and I want to ensure that our public colleges and universities are partnering with the business community and creating the workforce needed to grow economic success," he says.
