Twenty-two people around the STLCC community have been appointed to the Chancellor Search Committee on Monday, Sept. 22. The committee is filled with three students, five faculty, six staff, four community members, two Board of Trustees members and two non-voting members. The search committee is responsible for reviewing applications of potential candidates who are interested in becoming STLCC’s new chancellor. They will go over applications and conduct interviews while keeping suggestions from people who spoke during the public forums in mind.
The public forums will be held on every campus, but Meramec’s forum will be held on Sept. 24, in SC 200.
These forums will give the public a chance to hear about what problems the college is facing. The public’s opinion will be taken into account when the committee begins to review applications and narrow down the number of applicants to around three.
“Those candidates will be sent to the board to interview as finalists,” STLCC Board of Trustees Chair Craig Larson said.
Larson said he hopes to have the committee send the board the finalists by February or March of 2015 and to name the new chancellor by March or April of 2015.
