Pittsburg State set to begin search for new president

PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) – Pittsburg State University is preparing to begin the search for its next president.

The Joplin Globe reports that the Kansas Board of Regents voted Thursday to conduct a closed committee-led search.

Cheryl Harrison-Lee, the board’s chairperson, said the closed search is necessary “in the interest of trying to attract as many qualified candidates as possible.”

She said many of the sought-after candidates in university leadership positions don’t want to be publicly tied to a search at another institution.

A new president at Pittsburg State will succeed Steve Scott, who announced in July that he will retire next summer. He has served as president since 2009.
