In a mass e-mail sent Friday to faculty, staff and students, Mountain State University Acting President Dr. Jerry Ice said after an accreditation review team from the Higher Learning Commission concludes its visit Wednesday, the Board of Trustees will turn its full attention to selecting an interim president.
He says the trustees are now working with the Registry of College and University Presidents to identify potential candidates to serve as the interim president.
In March, the Board of Trustees and several members of the MSU family will interview the final three candidates. An interim will be selected and will take office in April.
The trustees will then work with the interim for several months to “develop a profile of the next president of Mountain State University.”
Later in the year, a national search firm will assist in identifying presidential candidates. When a new president is selected, a transition team will be established to “help guide the University through the process of welcoming a new president to MSU in mid to late 2013.”
“Though change is always difficult, welcoming a new president to MSU marks a new and exciting beginning for the University,” Ice said. “Though addressing the Show Cause Order over the last few months has been stressful, it has allowed us to redefine who we are and who we want to be. The new president of MSU will certainly be a part of the new MSU — an MSU poised to achieve even greater success.”
