The Special Committee on the Nomination of a President met in an open session Tuesday, followed by a private executive session to begin reviewing a list of potential candidates for the next university president, according to the Cavalier Daily.
Though the creation of a preliminary list of the top five candidates was listed on the executive session agenda, this did not happen, according to University spokesperson Carol Wood. In an effort to conduct as thorough a search as possible, the committee will not confine itself to a strict schedule, says Wood.
Before entering into executive session, the committee held an open session to collect input from members of the university community.
