2007: After a nationwide search, Clemson University has tapped an insider to be its new chief financial officer, President James F. Barker announced today. Brett A. Dalton, who has served as executive assistant to the vice president for academic affairs and provost since 1996, will become Clemson's top financial strategist effective June 29. “Brett possesses all of the talents we were looking for. He is a strategic thinker who can analyze financial data, economic trends and business plans, but who also thinks creatively and is open to new ideas,” Barker said. “The fact that he has in-depth knowledge of Clemson's budget and funding history is a bonus.” This position was created through a restructuring of the university's business and fiscal affairs division in order to enhance long-term financial strategic planning, develop new resources and increase efficiency and accountability, Barker said. The CFO will report directly to the president as an executive officer of the university. Steve Copeland will continue to serve as interim chief business officer, providing leadership for ongoing budget and facilities planning and management. Separating these critical duties will allow us to bring greater focus and accountability to each area," said Barker.
