                      HONORING DR. TIMOTHY P. RYAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DAVID VITTER

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 4, 2003

  Mr. VITTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Timothy P. Ryan, 
the new Chancellor of the University of New Orleans. On Saturday, 
November 1, Dr. Ryan accepted the appointment of the Louisiana State 
University System's Board of Supervisors to serve as the fifth 
Chancellor of the Lakefront campus.
  Dr. Ryan received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from the 
University of New Orleans in 1971 and a Ph.D. in Economics from the 
Ohio State University. He has been a member of the UNO faculty since 
1976 and served as Dean of the College of Business Administration until 
accepting his new post as Chancellor. During his brief tenure as 
Interim Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer at UNO, 
Dr. Ryan controlled the University's budget and demonstrated positive 
change.
  Dr. Ryan has received overwhelming support from the University 
community and I look forward to working closely with him on priorities 
for the University and New Orleans. I am confident that his experience 
and knowledge of Louisiana's higher education and its vital link to our 
economy will contribute to not only the University of New Orleans, but 
to our entire State.
