Bepko also will recommend that Bantz serve as the vice president for long-range planning for Indiana University, a post Bepko held while chancellor at IUPUI. The IU Board of Trustees will consider the recommendations at its Jan. 31 meeting.
Bantz currently is provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at Wayne State (Mich.) University. Petronio is a professor in the Department of Communication at Wayne State.
