Website for Chancellor Search Launched
A website outlining the search process and position for the next U of A chancellor has launched.
A website designed to attract potential candidates and provide the public with information about the position and search process for the next chancellor for the University of Arkansas is available at chancellor.uark.edu/chancellor-search.
Chancellor G. David Gearhart has announced his intention to retire on July 31, and former Chancellor Daniel E. Ferritor will serve as an interim chancellor.
"The purpose of the website is to provide a resource that can easily be shared with various publics, including prospective candidates, to encourage nomination and recommendations of potential candidates," said Howard Brill, search committee chairman.
The search committee is an advisory body charged to make recommendations to U of A System President Don Bobbitt, who will select a finalist for Board of Trustees approval.
"We also wanted to provide an opportunity for the public to provide comments about the process, or the candidates, when the time comes," Brill said.
Advertisements in national higher education outlets will be placed to draw additional attention to the position. Information about the U of A, the search firm and a list of the committee members may be found on the website.
