Shinn was chosen from more than 70 applicants after an expedited national search, and he will earn $467,197 a year with deferred compensation.
- On Tuesday, the Montana Board of Regents unanimously approved Dr. Jeremiah Shinn as the 20th president of the University of Montana, with the interim Boise State University leader set to assume office on July 1, 2026.
- The board expedited the search after University of Montana President Seth Bodnar resigned in January to run for the U.S. Senate, attracting more than 70 applicants nationally.

- During a campus visit last week, Shinn expressed appreciation for the university's sense of community while Commissioner of Higher Education Clayton Christian will manage presidential duties until July.
- Regent Carter Jasper, a student, said he had "remarkable" conversations with Shinn, while Board Chairperson Todd Buchanan said the hire demonstrates confidence in Shinn's ability to lead the university.
