Trustee Durfee says VTSU presidential search is on track; search firm IsaacsonMiller led outreach
Summary
Trustee Durfee told the VSC executive committee the presidential search for Vermont State University is moving forward: IsaacsonMiller prepared a position profile published in September, the application period has closed, and the search and screen committee will begin candidate reviews with the goal of filling the role by the end of the fiscal year.
Trustee Durfee told the VSC Board executive committee that the search for a new Vermont State University president is proceeding on schedule. He said the board contracted the search firm IsaacsonMiller over the summer, produced a position profile that was published in September, and has closed the application period.
"We're still very much on track to meet the deadlines that we set for ourselves," Trustee Durfee said. He added the search firm used its network to reach potential candidates and to publicize the opening beyond the initial applicant pool.
Durfee said the search and screening committee — made up of several board members and several non-board community members — will begin a detailed review of applicants and move into interviewing and screening in the coming weeks. He emphasized confidentiality in portions of the process.
Durfee noted the timing is linked to the announced departure of President Berg; the aim is to have a new president in place by the end of the fiscal year. No interview schedule or names of semifinalists were released during the open session.
The committee did not take any formal votes on the search at the meeting and did not provide additional public details beyond the process and timeline reported by Durfee.
