===== PAGE 1 ===== # BOARD OF REGENTS March 3, 2023 Kentucky State University Campus Constituents 400 East Main Street Frankfort, KY 40601 Dear Campus Constituents, Essential to our process of finding Kentucky State University's next President is hearing diverse views and ensuring representation from across the KSU community and beyond. During the Thursday, March 2, 2023, special called meeting of the Kentucky State University Board of Regents, the Board approved the Presidential Search Committee’s composition and charge, with a caveat regarding the extent of the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education’s involvement on the Committee. The approved action item is attached for your reference. Kentucky State University’s faculty, staff, and students will be represented by one (1) member each, to be selected by the Faculty Senate, Staff Senate, and the Student Government Association, respectively. All governing bodies should follow normal selection processes. The faculty and staff representatives must be employed by Kentucky State University in a full-time capacity, and the student representative must be enrolled full-time. Governing bodies seeking assistance with the selection process may contact Zach Atwell, Deputy General Counsel/Acting General Counsel, via email at Zachary.Atwell@kysu.edu. The selected representatives must be submitted to me, the Board of Regents’ Chairman, via email at Regent.Patton@kysu.edu no later than 5 p.m. EST on Monday, March 6, 2023. Ideal candidates should possess the following characteristics: committed to maintaining the integrity of the process by respecting confidentiality; works with a collaborative spirit; willing to endure the time-consuming and serious commitment of choosing Kentucky State's next President; and have a comprehensive understanding of the history, challenges, and opportunities of Kentucky State University. These are uncertain times, but Kentucky State University is a remarkable institution, grounded in our mission and fortified and enhanced by a strong plan for our future. I am excited about the path ahead and have confidence this search will bring us a dynamic, innovative new leader who will advance and strengthen Kentucky State for the future. Thank you for participating in this important journey. Onward and Upward,
