"Carol Tomlinson-Keasey, who spearheaded the multi-year effort to establish the 10th University of California campus in Merced and served as its founding chancellor from 1999 to 2006, died Oct. 10 in Decatur, Ga., due to complications related to breast cancer, the university says. She was 66.
“We are deeply saddened by Carol’s passing,” says UC Merced Chancellor Steve Kang, who succeeded Ms. Tomlinson-Keasey in March 2007. “Simply put, UC Merced would not exist were it not for her visionary leadership, her tireless determination and her remarkable gift of persuasion.”"
