The State Board of Regents voted to go into closed session under a cited code provision to evaluate the professional qualifications of applicants for the ISU presidency. After the closed session, the board selected semifinalists for virtual interviews and outlined plans for finalist campus visits and public forums.
The State Board of Regents voted to enter a closed session to evaluate the professional competency of applicants for the ISU presidency, citing Iword code section 22.5.1.i.
The closed-session motion required a second and passed on a roll call in which multiple regents recorded affirmative votes. After the closed session, the board announced it had selected semifinalists to invite to virtual semifinalist interviews beginning in October. The board said candidate identities for semifinal rounds will remain confidential until finalists are publicly identified.
The board said it will schedule virtual semifinalist interviews to take place in closed session. Following those interviews, the board will name finalists who will visit the ISU campus. The board said finalist visits will include meetings with selected members of the campus community and open forums that will be open to the public and livestreamed.
The motion authorizing the closed session specified that each individual's professional qualifications must be evaluated in closed session. Meeting minutes show the board invoked the cited code provision for that purpose and completed a roll call before adjourning to closed session. The board did not disclose names of applicants in the open portion of the meeting.
Next steps identified by the board include scheduling the virtual semifinalist interviews in October, conducting those closed interviews, publicly naming finalists after the semifinal round, and arranging campus visits and public forums for finalists.
