The Vermont State Colleges Board of Trustees at its Thursday, July 31, 2014 meeting voted to approve a process for selecting an Interim Chancellor of the Vermont State Colleges. The Interim Chancellor would serve for up to and possibly beyond one year while the Board searches for a permanent replacement for retiring Chancellor Timothy J. Donovan. Each of the fourteen Trustees and each of the five member college Presidents will be permitted to submit to Board Chair Martha O’Connor by September 1, 2014 up to three nominations for an Interim Chancellor. Nominations will be confidential. The Executive Committee of the Board will review the nominations and send to the full Board its recommended list of nominees for Board consideration at its meeting in late September. The Board will select the most promising candidates and then hold interviews and conduct other inquiries before selecting the Interim Chancellor. Qualified persons wishing to be considered for the position of Interim Chancellor should contact Trustees or Presidents to express their interest.
