BOISE, Idaho (AP) _ University of Idaho President Tim White has
been named the chancellor of the University of California at
Riverside.

The University of California Regents made the appointment
Thursday. They also approved a pay package for White, but details
of the deal were not immediately disclosed.

White told the University of Idaho he was in job discussions
with another institution in late April.

The UC Riverside campus is approximately 55 miles outside Los
Angeles and includes 17,000 students.

White was named University of Idaho president in 2004, as the
university faced budget cuts, faculty turnover, and a financial
scandal that stemmed from a failed expansion project in Boise.

He suffered three heart attacks in less than two years during
his tenure as president.
