One Finalist Withdraws from ISU Presidential Search

One of the three scheduled finalists for the Iowa State University presidential search has elected to withdraw from the process.

Two finalists are scheduled for on-campus visits to ISU next week, on Wednesday, Nov. 5 and Thursday, Nov. 6. In addition to meetings throughout the day with faculty, staff, students and other stakeholders, both finalists will hold a public forum. The schedule is as follows:
 

• Wednesday, Nov. 5, 4-5 p.m. in the Durham Great Hall of the Memorial Union
• Thursday, Nov. 6, 4-5 p.m. in the Durham Great Hall of the Memorial Union

Live video streaming of each open forum will be available on the Iowa Board of Regents website.

Each finalist’s name will be announced publicly 24 hours prior to their day on ISU’s campus.  At that time, the candidate’s curriculum vitae will be made available on both the Board’s website and the ISU presidential search website.

Following the campus visits, the Board of Regents will meet in closed session Nov. 11 at Iowa State University to hear from the co-chairs of the search committee, interview the finalists, and select a new president. The public introduction of the new president is tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m. in ISU’s Memorial Union.

The Board of Regents is a group of citizen volunteers who govern the state’s three public universities through policymaking, coordination and oversight.
