​ Dear Members of the Rutgers Community, The Board of Governors officially announced the commencement of a nationwide search for the 22nd President of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. As co-chairs of the Presidential Search Committee, we are committed to an inclusive, collaborative, and efficient process that prioritizes engagement and input from our diverse and vibrant Rutgers community. We invite you to participate. This is an important time for Rutgers to chart a bold path forward and build upon its successes as one of the country’s most respected and historic public institutions for research and higher education. Rutgers stands ready to welcome a transformative leader who embodies our values, embraces the richness of our multicampus identity, and brings the expertise needed to guide a large, dynamic institution toward greater heights of excellence, accountability, and innovation. HOW IT WORKS The Board of Governors has retained WittKieffer, a highly regarded search firm with extensive experience leading executive searches on behalf of large public universities, like Rutgers. They will engage in a comprehensive and thorough nationwide search, working closely with a 20-member Presidential Search Committee selected through a thoughtful and deliberate nomination process to ensure balanced representation across Rutgers’ diverse campuses and constituencies, including students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community partners. We are pleased to announce the esteemed members of the Presidential Search Committee who will evaluate candidates, help to cultivate a talented candidate pool, conduct interviews, and recommend finalists to the Board of Governors for its consideration and selection.

We expect WittKieffer and the Presidential Search Committee to largely complete their work by March, so that the Board of Governors can make its selection by April. We are fortunate to have a Committee that truly reflects the best of Rutgers, individuals who bring with them diverse perspectives, ideas, experience, and knowledge, who will ensure we identify the right person to lead the university into the future. We want to thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts and ideas and participating in the process of selecting the next president of Rutgers University. We pledge to lead this effort with integrity and purpose and to keep the Rutgers community informed and engaged throughout. Sincerely, Amy L.

Obviously, they don’t want to hear from people that actually have jobs on weekdays during business hours

Sure took them long enough. So what are we thinking? Candidates are uncovered by the end of the year, a month for interviews, and hopefully in February we have a new president?
Then it takes that person two more months to find an AD?

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

My guess is this late announcement is because they found the person the important people want but now need to pretend it was an open competition.. pretend everyone had input. This is Jersey afterall.

Imagine posting these hours where the actual people working and making money have better things to do than even tune in virtually? How asinine but maybe intentional. Who knows with this school nowadays.

Obviously, they don’t want to hear from people that actually have jobs on weekdays during business hours

The message states this is the first round and more will be scheduled to accommodate people’s work schedules.

So will the acting AD be able to sign an apparel deal with Nike etc?
