Duffy was appointed to the council in 2014 by then Gov. Lincoln Chafee. He has close to three decades of experience as a corporate and regulatory attorney, McKee said. In a statement, McKee said Duffy is a leader who demonstrated his “forward-thinking abilities” in the workplace and will pass on that experience in serving the higher education system in Rhode Island.
Duffy, a University of Rhode Island graduate, said in a statement that he looks forward to his new role “to move our postsecondary programs forward.”
