Final appointments made to presidential search and advisory committees

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 14, 2006

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The Board of Trustees has made final appointments to the Presidential Search Committee and the Faculty Advisory Committee. The first appointments to these groups were made June 27 in anticipation of beginning the search to replace IU President Adam W. Herbert.

Trustee Sue H. Talbot, chair of the search committee, said Lauren Robel, Val Nolan Professor of Law and dean of the School of Law-Bloomington, will join the 12-member panel. A student representative will be named in the fall.

Also three additional members have been appointed to the Faculty Advisory Committee: Carolyn Calloway-Thomas, associate professor of communication and culture, IU Bloomington; Susan W. Cress, associate professor of early childhood education, IU South Bend; and Adelheid M. M. Gealt, associate professor, Hope School of Fine Arts and director, Indiana University Art Museum, IU Bloomington.

Talbot said the committees are now complete and will begin work early in the fall.

Herbert has two years remaining on his five-year contract, but he recommended that the search for his replacement get under way this year because presidential searches can be time-consuming and do not always bear fruit on the first attempt. Herbert has said that if a new president is identified before his tenure ends, he may step down as president and serve the university in another capacity.

Stephen L. Ferguson, president of the IU Board of Trustees, declined to set a completion date for the process, saying the search will continue for as long it takes to find fully qualified nominees.
