[VPAAEtal] Presidential Search Update

[Academic Affairs]

Dear University Family:

 

The Presidential Search Advisory Committee spent a long 2 ½ days conducting
off-campus interviews with a small number of applicants.  The interviews
went well and we had indeed identified some very talented and superior
candidates.

 

Late Monday evening, the committee winnowed the list to a smaller number and
identified strengths and possible limitations to success for each of the
recommended candidates.  This list was placed into a report to the
Chancellor and it along with a cover letter from the Chair of the committee
was shipped overnight to the Chancellor this afternoon.

 

We now wait for the Chancellor to prepare his recommendations to the Board
of Regents.  The Board will then review the Chancellor's recommendations and
make a selection.  Then and only then will this candidate's identity be made
known to the public.

 

Arrangements will be made locally to welcome the candidate for on-campus
interviews.  Ample ability for all interested individuals to meet the
candidate will be arranged.  Comments will be entertained and
recommendations made.  If it is a good fit for the candidate and the
university, we will have identified our new President.

 

If all goes as planned, the Board will name the new President and after the
statutory 21 day period it will be official.

 

The PSAC has taken its charge very seriously and has identified candidates
whom they feel any one of which could be an outstanding President.  We thank
you for the privilege of serving in this most important stage in the history
of Texas A&M - Commerce.
