She was made assistant vice-chancellor for academic and student affairs in 2000, associate vice-president in 2003, and interim senior vice-chancellor in 2006.[2] Everts left UNO in 2008 to become provost and vice-president for academic affairs at Illinois State University.[3] She served as interim president from May to August 2013, following the resignation of Alvin Bowman.[4] In March 2014, Everts was announced as the new chancellor of Appalachian State University.[5] She took office in July 2014, and was formally installed April 2015 [6] as the university's first female chancellor.[7]
Criticism[]
On August 17, 2020, the Appalachian State Faculty Senate voted no confidence in Chancellor's Everts' leadership because of concerns about teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. [1] [2]. Appalachian State was one of the largest UNC System schools to hold in-person classes throughout 2020, with 30 percent in-person classes, 30 percent hybrid classes and 40 percent remote/online classes.[8]
