LSU CFO leaving for University of Kentucky

Eric Monday, LSU’s vice chancellor for finance and administrative services and CFO, is headed to the University of Kentucky. Monday’s move to Kentucky—the likelihood of which was initially reported by Daily Report last week—was announced today in an email from University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto to the campus’ faculty and students. Monday will take over as executive vice president for finance and administration at the university in late December or early January. “This is a tremendous career opportunity that was best for me and my family,” Monday says in a prepared statement. “I have developed professional and personal relationships at LSU that will last a lifetime, and I will always maintain a deep passion for LSU and for the people that make it great. Forever LSU.” Monday is just the latest university administrator to leave LSU in recent months; Kevin Carman, dean of the College of Science, recently announced he will begin a new job as executive vice president and provost at the University of Nevada, Reno, on Feb. 1. Katrice Albert, LSU’s vice provost for equity, diversity and community outreach, is up for a similar position with the University of Minnesota.
