Lori Ross Appointed New General Counsel
President Neville G. Pinto announced today the appointment of Lori A. Ross as the universitys new Vice President for Legal Affairs and General Counsel, effective Feb. 20, pending board approval.
An alumna of UCs College of Law, Ross first joined the Office of General Counsel in 2012 and recently served as Interim Deputy General Counsel. She stood out from the national pool of candidates, said President Pinto, because of her exemplary record of advocating on the universitys behalf and serving as a strategic and trusted legal advisor to the university community and senior leadership on a broad range of complex, time-sensitive, and often high-profile legal issues and proceedings.
Ross has been an active supporter of UCs equity and inclusion efforts, serving as a Diversity and Inclusion Resource Liaison and as a member of both the Bias Incident Response Team and the Equity and Inclusion Conference Planning Committee.
Previously in her career, she was an equity partner at Strauss Troy. She is also an experienced professional mediator trained in alternative dispute resolution and teaches Employment Law as an adjunct professor at the College of Law. She earned her undergraduate degrees at Miami University.
On behalf of the university, I also want to express deep appreciation to Karen Kovach, who served as Interim General Counsel for the past 10 months, and Vice Provost Matt Serra, who headed the general counsel search committee, Pinto added.
