Regents authorize national search firm for Executive Director hire and move to closed session
Summary
The Board authorized advertising an RFQ/RFP to hire a national search firm to assist with the Executive Director recruitment and then voted to enter closed session to discuss pending litigation and receive legal counsel.
The Board of Regents voted June 16 to authorize the Governance and Human Resources Committee to advertise a request for qualifications/proposals and to select a national search firm to assist with hiring a new Executive Director following the retirement of the current director.
Carolann Jensen, the Board office Chief Operating Officer, told members the process will mirror a presidential search: the committee will advertise, evaluate responses and select a firm to provide candidate‑identification services and a search timeline. Regents approved the procurement plan by roll call; the Board recorded the vote and directed the Governance Committee to proceed.
Following approval of the procurement plan, the Board voted to convene a closed session under statutory authority to discuss litigation strategy and to seek confidential legal advice. The roll-call vote to enter closed session was recorded and the Board recessed into closed session.
