R1 Leadership Tracker · August 12, 2026

The top job is in motion

Research universities make decisions on decade-long horizons. Their leaders are changing on a much shorter clock.

As of August 12, 2026, 82 of the 187 institutions in Carnegie's 2025 R1 class — 44% — are led by someone who first assumed the institution's top job in 2024 or later. Eight currently have interim leaders. This analysis shows the scale of new and transitional leadership across America's leading research institutions.

01The scale of leadership change

Nearly half the R1 sector is led by a relatively new incumbent. "Took office" means the date the current leader first assumed the institution's top role, including service in an interim or acting capacity.

03Where interim leadership is concentrated

Interim leadership by institutional control. Counts are shown alongside percentages because the interim group is small — eight institutions — and institutional control is not offered as an explanation for the difference.

Share of campuses under interim leadership

Public: 5 of 135 · Private: 3 of 52

Public3.7% — 5 of 135Private5.8% — 3 of 52

Small sample: differences of one or two institutions move these percentages substantially.
