DIRECTOR, STATE COUNCIL OF HIGHER EDUCATION FOR VIRGINIA, RICHMOND
DIRECTOR, STATE COUNCIL OF HIGHER EDUCATION FOR VIRGINIA, RICHMOND
Virginia Business// August 29, 2024//
After a nationwide search, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) found its next leader under its nose — Fleming was serving his first term on SCHEV’s governing board when he was hired.
Fleming began his new duties in May, replacing interim director Alan Edwards, who served after longtime SCHEV director Peter Blake stepped down in December 2023.
SCHEV is a coordinating body for the state’s colleges, its board nominated by the governor. It implements statewide policies set by the General Assembly and the governor, suggests policies and funding, and conducts research. Fleming was named to the board in July 2023.
With two degrees from Brigham Young University, Fleming previously worked with Scantron, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Strada Education Foundation, and he was a staffer for the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Fleming said in an interview with Virginia Business that he will focus attention on technology at Virginia’s colleges and universities and addressing rising tuition costs.
