Adding sources for work done at UM Flint.[edit]
Would these be OK sources to cite the statements about Deba Dutta's career at University of Michigan, Flint? Do I need anything else to address the COI flag on the page?
Dutta was appointed eighth chancellor of the University of Michigan-Flint in June 2019. He helped turn around eight consecutive years of enrollment decline, posting a 3% increase in fall 2023.[1] He guided UM-Flint through the pandemic while creating a new College of Innovation and Technology[2], establishing the first regents-approved bylaws for shared governance[3], creating several named professorships for faculty, revitalizing and promoting faculty scholarship by creating three research institutes[4][5], increasing graduation rates by 10%, and surpassing previous fundraising records[6][7]. He led the efforts to raise $50 million from federal, state, and private sources for the construction of a new Innovation and Technology Complex to make UM-Flint an engine for economic growth[8]. After four years as chancellor of University of Michigan-Flint, Dutta stepped down on September 15, 2023, and joined the University of Illinois as Senior Advisor to the President. In the announcement, Dutta was applauded by the president of University of Michigan for being a strong advocate for UM-Flint and for his commitment and work transforming the institution. [9]
