WILLIMANTIC - David G. Carter, head of the Connecticut State University System, announced Tuesday he will retire next year after more than two decades in the system, including the last four years as its chancellor.
The surprise announcement came after a tumultuous year for Carter, who, along with the system's Board of Trustees, has been under fire from the legislature and others over the handling of the removal of Southern Connecticut State University President Cheryl Norton.
Carter made the announcement during a press conference on science programs at Eastern Connecticut State University, where he was president for 17 years before becoming chancellor of the system's four universities in 2006.
