Roger William Heyns (January 27, 1918, Grand Rapids, Michigan – September 11, 1995, Volos, Greece)[1][2] was an American professor and academic who served as chancellor of the University of California.
Education
He received his A.B. degree from Calvin College in 1940 and his M.A. and Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Michigan.[3]
Career
He was the chancellor of UC Berkeley from 1965 to 1971.[2] UC President Clark Kerr later wrote that of all the chancellors he personally worked with, Heyns had the most tormenting assignment of all.[4]
