VP search process reopened
Campus Times
February 21, 1997
In last week's issue of the Campus Times, it was reported that a new
vice president of administration was selected on Feb. 7. However, although
a decision had been made that two out of the three candidates who were chosen
for the position were notified by the search committee that they could no
longer continue in the process and the search has been reopened.
"I asked the search firm [Morris Berger] to seek additional candidates
for interviews," said President Stephen Morgan.
Although the names of the candidates are still confidential, there is
one candidate still in the process of being chosen, along with an unknown
number of new candidates to be selected.
A set date has not been chosen for when a new vice president will be
selected, due to the length of the process.
The vice president is responsible for all of the financial and administrative
obligations for the university.
Steve Grey, chief financial officer, has been serving as the vice president
for administration for a year-and-a-half now. He declined the offer for
the position and still remains CFO.
"We, the search committee and I, felt that we wanted to look at
more people before we make a final choice. It is such an important position
and we feel we need to choose the right person for this job," said
Dr. Morgan.
