The presidential search committee will host open forums for students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members to discuss what attributes the next university leader should have.
R. Wayne Estopinal, a member of Ball State’s Board of Trustees and head of the committee, said in an email sent to students that the ideas put forward at these discussions will be vitally important.
“Our goal at the forum is to listen and gather your insights,” he said in the email.
The student forum will be at 2 p.m. Jan. 15 in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Cardinal Hall A. Dates and locations for the other forums were not included in the email. Anyone who is not able to attend is encouraged to submit thoughts to prezsearch@bsu.edu.
The search will be closed, meaning candidates will not be made public and will be selected by the committee. So far only one student will be directly involved in the hiring process — Kyle Pierce, the student member of the Board of Trustees.
The previous presidential search that brought President Jo Ann Gora to Ball State was criticized for not being transparent and not working with the campus community during its process.
