From Times Wire Services
The trustees of the University of Massachusetts named a permanent replacement for former President William M. Bulger, who resigned in August after congressional scrutiny of his fugitive mobster brother.
Jack Wilson, who had been the school’s interim president since fall, was appointed in Boston by the board of trustees on an 11-0 vote, with three abstentions.
Since succeeding Bulger as head of the five-campus UMass system, Wilson has been widely praised as an academic with a knack for politicking.
