University of Missouri announces chancellor search committee

The University of Missouri released the names of its chancellor search committee Thursday.

It will be chaired by University of Missouri-Kansas City Chancellor Leo Morton and MU College of Engineering Dean Elizabeth Loboa.

MU Faculty Council Chair and committee member Ben Trachtenberg said the committee will bring a variety of opinions and ideas to the search.

“I think they put together a good search committee that really represents a wide range of constituencies and backgrounds and skills and opinions,” said Trachtenberg “So, we ought to have a lot of people who care about Mizzou tremendously, but have different visions for what the university is about.”

Stakeholder meetings and open forums will begin next month.

Once a candidate is selected, the committee hopes to release their name by May or June.
