Chancellor Search Advisory Committee Extends its Search |
|
| |
Please note that the following comes from the Chancellor Search Advisory Committee (CSAC):
The SIU Board of Trustees approved Witt Kieffer as the search firm to assist with the SIUE Chancellor Search in December 2015. The final paperwork was completed in mid-January 2016, and the CSAC is actively working with the search firm.
Upon the recommendation of the search firm, and the approval of the CSAC, we will continue to accept applications until Tuesday, March 15 (best consideration date), so that we can continue to get a strong applicant pool. The CSAC will simultaneously continue to evaluate applicants. We plan to select candidates for the first round of “airport interviews” in late March and conduct the first round of interviews in early April.
We will then select the finalists for campus interviews. We plan to complete all campus interviews before the end of the spring semester, so that we can receive input from the SIUE community.
We would like to thank all those who have nominated individuals for the chancellor position, or have provided us with feedback through the website, siue.edu/chancellor/search.
We have received several completed applications, and we encourage you to continue to communicate (nominations/feedback) with us through the “Get Involved” section of the Chancellor Search website, chancellor/search/feedback.
