After Chancellor Holden Thorp announced on Sept. 17 that he planned to step down in June, the University began a daunting search to find a replacement.
The public forum on Nov. 7 further highlighted the breadth of the task ahead. Those who attended the public forum gave such a long list of qualities they hoped for in the next chancellor. Joseph Jordan, director of the Sonja Haynes Stone Center, said expectations amount to a “superhero” individual.
Because of the many roles the chancellor must play, the unique challenges this University is currently facing and the unprecedented political situation in the state, the Editorial Board will be hosting an editorial series on the different qualities that must be considered in the search.
