Search over for new VP
Campus Times
February 14, 1997
Though a name has not been released, a new vice president of administration
was chosen by a search committee Feb. 7. Decisions of the committee are
confidential until the position has been filled.
Morris Berger, an executive search firm, narrowed the initial 100 candidates
down to three. Those three were then interviewed by the search committee
and had open sessions with the University community.
Details about the candidates are confidential.
"We are looking for the right experience, but also a personality
that will fit well in the University structure," said President Stephen
Morgan.
Steve Grey, chief financial officer for the University, has been acting
as the vice president for administration for the past year-and-a-half. Grey
was offered the position, but declined in order to concentrate on his job
as CFO.
According to Dr. Morgan, the vice president for administration "overlooks
all of the financial obligations for the University. He or she oversees
all of the financial and administrative sides of the institution."
The director of operations will report to the vice president of administration
and that position oversees all the buildings and grounds. They also oversee
human resources and administrative services.
The search committee is comprised of the senior management team, vice-presidents,
the CFO, the assistant to the president, academic and administrative deans
and faculty representatives from the College of Arts and Sciences, the College
of Law, the School of Organizational Management and the School of Business
and Economics.
