The presidential search committee reviewed the presidential search timeline, expecting to finish the search Feb. 15, at their meeting Wednesday.

Joe Dively, the committee chairman, said they wanted to avoid searching still during finals week.

The committee also edited the drafted 30-page document detailing position specifications. They expect to have the document finalized by the Thursday.

It is then planned to have ads placed and sent out Friday.

The search committee is expected to have the materials available to them by Nov. 11. There will then be a presentation given to the committee highlighting candidates on Nov. 19.

The confidential first found interviews are anticipated to start from Dec. 1 until Dec. 5. The committee decided to have around 3 to 4 interviews throughout each day. The decision will then be made to invite certain candidates to become the finalists on the last day of interviews, Dec. 5.

Backgrounds and references will then be checked from Dec. 8 until Dec. 19.

After that, second round interviews, which will include campus visits, will then take place from Jan. 19 until Jan. 30.

While they expect to meet each of these dates, the dates are not set in stone.

“Obviously, this timeline is going to be adjusted as required,” Dively said.
