Everts grew up in Nebraska, and attended elementary school in a one-room schoolhouse. She completed her undergraduate education at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, graduating with a B.A. in English in 1980. She worked as a high-school English teacher in Nebraska and Kansas for several years, later returning to UNL to complete an M.A. in literacy education and a Ph.D. in education. In 1994, Everts joined the University of Nebraska Omaha as an assistant professor in the Department of Teacher Education. She was made assistant vice-chancellor for academic and student affairs in 2000, associate vice-president in 2003, and interim senior vice-chancellor in 2006.[1] Everts left UNO in 2008 to become provost and vice-president for academic affairs at Illinois State University.[2] She served as interim president from May to August 2013, following the resignation of Alvin Bowman.[3] In March 2014, Everts was announced as the new chancellor of Appalachian State University.[4] She took office in July 2014, but was not formally installed until April 2015.[5]

Criticism

In June 2016, in response to a series of changes in the administration, a group of ASU students, alumni, and faculty launched a website critical of Everts' actions as chancellor.[6]

gollark: I don't think half of America actually has said as much.
gollark: I mean, sure, but to continue making somewhat unrelated meta-level claims, almost regardless of how much that's actually happening there'll still be a few people complaining about it.
gollark: The important thing is probably... quantitative data about the amounts and change of each?
gollark: Regardless of what's actually happening with news, you can probably dredge up a decent amount of examples of people complaining about being too censored *and* the other way round.
gollark: With the butterfly-weather-control example that's derived from, you can't actually track every butterfly and simulate the air movements resulting from this (yet, with current technology and algorithms), but you can just assume some amount of random noise (from that and other sources) which make predictions about the weather unreliable over large time intervals.
