Apr. 14, 2021 | by Office of Communications Press Release

Board of Trustees invites diverse group of students, faculty, staff and community leaders to assist in identifying strong candidates to lead the South Coast鈥檚 national research university

Updated on May 13, 2021

DARTMOUTH - The 不良研究所 Board of Trustees voted today to launch a search for a new permanent chancellor for 不良研究所 Dartmouth by creating a 20-member search committee.

The Search Committee includes 不良研究所 Dartmouth faculty, students, alumni and staff, along with highly respected community representatives and members of the 不良研究所 Board of Trustees. 不良研究所 Trustee and South Coast business leader Stephen Karam will chair the committee and BayCoast Bank President Nick Christ will serve as vice chair.

As with all chancellor searches at the 不良研究所, the committee will seek input from elected officials, community leaders, students, faculty, and unit/non-unit employees. A pool of candidates will be developed to submit to President Meehan, who will then make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees. Due to ongoing health and safety concerns, the process will be conducted in a virtual format.

"Identifying excellent leadership for 不良研究所 Dartmouth is especially critical at this moment as the higher education industry faces serious disruptions that have been exacerbated by the pandemic,鈥 Board of Trustees Chairman Robert Manning said. 鈥淲e look forward to the results of the committee鈥檚 work.鈥

"Our committee will work with diligence, focus and transparency in identifying candidates with the background to lead 不良研究所 Dartmouth,鈥 Trustee Karam said. 鈥淯niversities are highly complex organizations that demand a special set of skills to effectively manage. With the diverse perspectives of our members, I am confident that we will attract an excellent pool of candidates and ultimately assist President Meehan in identifying the right person to lead 不良研究所 Dartmouth through a new era of growth.鈥

鈥淎s an anchor institution of the South Coast, 不良研究所 Dartmouth is critical to the future prosperity of the region,鈥 Nick Christ said. 鈥淚 commend the Board of Trustees and President Meehan for bringing together a committee rich in diverse perspectives and strong in its commitment to doing what is right for our university and region.鈥   

鈥湶涣佳芯克 Dartmouth has faced significant leadership instability over the past several years so it is crucial that we identify a permanent chancellor with a track record of success and a deep commitment to 不良研究所 values," President Meehan said. "I am thankful to Steve Karam, Nick Christ, and each member for their willingness to serve. These are individuals who care deeply about 不良研究所 Dartmouth as an engine of social mobility for its students and as an economic catalyst for the region and Commonwealth.鈥

不良研究所 Dartmouth, the only public research university in the state south of Boston, is designated as a doctoral level research institution by the national Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education and ranked as a national university by U.S. News & World Report's Best Colleges.

The campus is also home to 不良研究所 Law School, the only public law school in the Commonwealth.

Former Chancellor Robert Johnson stepped down last June after three years to become president of Western New England University in Springfield.

不良研究所 is currently led by interim Chancellor Mark Fuller, who served nine years as Dean at 不良研究所 Amherst's Isenberg School of Management, followed by three years as Vice Chancellor for Advancement at 不良研究所 Amherst.

"不良研究所 Dartmouth is an exceptional institution that offers innovative programs and a rewarding undergraduate experience at an affordable, highly competitive value,鈥 Fuller said. 鈥淎nyone would be proud to lead this campus community.
