The Idaho State Board of Education on Thursday named the search committee charged with finding the next University of Idaho president.
A majority of the 16-member panel consists of university representatives, including Athletic Director Rob Spear, UI Foundation President Bill Gilbert, UI Alumni Association President Tom Limbaugh, and student body president Garrett Holbrook.
Tim White is scheduled to resign the presidency June 30 to accept a job at the University of California-Riverside. The board last week named College of Natural Resources dean Steven Daley-Laursen the university’s interim president.
Trustees Paul Agidius and Sue Thilo will steer the nationwide search for White’s permanent successor. The search committee is expected to take up to nine months to find three to five finalists for the State Board to consider for the job.
