Sources have confirmed that State Representative Hank Huckaby will be the next Chancellor of the University System of Georgia. The Oconee County Republican and former Vice-President for Finance and Administration at the University of Georgia is the state Board of Regents choice to replace departing Chancellor Erroll Davis, who is retiring after five years as head of the University System of Georgia. Sources say the Regents vote came last night. A Regents spokesman declined to confirm the Huckaby appointment, but did say that no Chancellor can, under state law, be officially named until two weeks after finalists are named. However, WGAU News has learned that Huckaby will be named as the lone finalist for the job. That announcement is expected Friday. Hank Huckaby's appointment as Chancellor will necessitate a special election to fill his seat in the state House of Representatives. That's a post Huckaby won last November.
