The FAMU Presidential Search Committee met today via telephone conference call. But first a bit of background, Dr. Charles E. Taylor, former president of Morris Brown College is leading the search for the Hollins Group.. Shortly after Dr. Taylor became president of Morris Brown College, the university was shut-down academically by SACS. Taylor a long time friend of Challis E. Lowe is a partner in the Hollins Group. The co-leaders Laura Branker and R. B. Holmes convened the meeting. Challis. Lowe was also on the call. The process for seating a permanent president is underway and will take a circuitous route, hopefully leading back to FAMU. The board of trustees has attempted twice to select a permanent leader. Maybe lessons from the past will keep personal and political agendas out of the process and the next leader will be selected on credentials, not friendship or IOU’s.
Look for the first signs of a search in the Chronicles of Higher Education, September 2006 issue. Hopefully, the board will advertise in other higher education mediums, as well. August to November is reserved for assembling a pool of qualified candidates. December 5th is the drop deadline for candidates to be considered. Finalist for the job will be on campus in Feburary.
