Presidential search website goes live
This morning, the UM System made its website for its presidential search live.
"As the chairman of the University of Missouri Board of Curators Presidential Search Committee, please know that we will do our best to find yet another outstanding leader for our university," Board of Curators chairman Warren Erdman said on the website. "No preconceived notions or expectations will artificially limit our search process. Instead, we will let the process — which will be broad and inclusive, and include input from our many stakeholders and the public — lead us to our ultimate choice."
The website includes the search committee's drafted timeline, guidelines and names of members. It also includes links to news articles about former president Gary Forsee's decision to resign from his position and remarks from interim president Steve Owens after his selection.
"Accept this as our invitation to return to this website often for updates and progress reports, and thank you for your interest in the presidential search process and in the University of Missouri," Erdman said.
