At last Friday’s Board of Trustees meeting, Democrat Joel Ferguson was re-elected as chairperson and Republican Brian Breslin was elected as vice chair of the board. The trustees voted for both positions unanimously.
This will be Ferguson’s ninth year as chairperson.
Other issues addressed at the meeting include June Youatt’s official appointment as acting provost and a welcome to newly-elected Trustee Brian Mosallam.
President Lou Anna K. Simon said she will work with the Steering Committee to discuss the search process for finding a permanent provost. Once a plan is developed, it will require the Faculty Senate’s approval. Simon said she expects the position will be decided before the end of the year.
