Javier Reyes

The chancellor of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst says a task force will be formed and an independent review will be conducted on a pair of campus demonstrations — one of which ended with mass arrests.

Javier Reyes has been named the next chancellor of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The current interim chancellor of the University of Illinois Chicago was appointed by the Board of Trustees Thursday following the recommendation of UMass President Marty Meehan.
