Two Women Announce That They Are Leaving Their High-Level Administrative Posts in Academia

Karine Moe, provost at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, announced that she will step down from her post at the end of the academic year. She has served as provost for the past six years. Dr. Moe will take a year-long sabbatical, then return in September 2022 to the faculty of the economics department as the F.R. Bigelow Professor of Economics.

A labor economist, Dr. Moe graduated from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. She earned a master of public policy degree from Harvard University and a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Minnesota.

Marsha Jaeger, assistant vice chancellor for educational partnerships and the director of the Center for Educational Partnerships at the University of California, Berkeley, is stepping down from her posts after a career of 30 years on campus. For the past three years, Dr. Jaeger also has served as interim chief financial officer and divisional finance leader for the Division of Equity & Inclusion.

Prior to coming to Berkeley, Dr. Jaeger had a successful career as a professional oboist and educator. She holds a doctor of musical arts degree from the University of Cincinnati and a master’s degree in music from Yale University.
