This just in from the Provost office:
Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,
I’m very pleased to announce that Chuck Henson, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Trial Practice in the MU School of Law, has been named as Interim Vice Chancellor for Inclusion, Diversity and Equity effective immediately.
Professor Henson has been with the university since 2009. During that time, he has served as an adjunct professor, visiting professor of law and trial practice professor of law. He was an honoree at the 27th Annual Lloyd Gaines Scholarship Banquet and received the Graduate Professional Council’s 2014 Gold Chalk Award for excellence in teaching. He was recognized for his outstanding contributions to student learning in 2015 by the Division of Student Affairs Excellence in Education Award.
His academic scholarship focuses on Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin. He also has taught continuing legal education courses focusing on employment discrimination.
Prior to joining MU, he served as an assistant attorney general and the assistant general counsel for human resources in the Missouri Attorney General’s office. From 2004-2006, he was a vice president with Adelphia Communications, providing legal guidance and management for human resources issues with 15,000 employees in 23 states. He also has worked in private practice in Colorado. He is a licensed lawyer in Missouri and Colorado (inactive) and is licensed to practice before a variety of federal district and circuit courts of appeals including the U.S. Tax Court; the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals; and the U.S. Supreme Court.
He received his bachelor’s degree from Yale University and his law degree from Georgetown University.
Please join me in congratulating Professor Henson on this very important and crucial role at our university. We’re looking forward to working with him as we continue to make Mizzou an inclusive and welcoming community for everyone who teaches, works and studies here.
