Appointment of Acting President The following recommendation was presented by Chairperson Carrigan: Since President Wharton's announcement of his decision to accept the Chancellorship of the State University of New York system, I have discussed with each of my colleagues on the Board the tasks immediately before us. This afternoon we will address ourselves to one of them in a review of procedures for the selection of a new president. I I I • I I # A. PERSONNEL CHANGES, cont. October 27-28, 1977 Edgar Harden appt. Act. Pres, Appointment of Acting President, cont. But we must also begin immediately to arrange for an orderly transition in the President's office to ensure minimal disruption of University operations, be facilitated by the early naming of an Acting President. Each of us feels this will There are within the University highly qualified individuals who ought to be considered for the presidency, and who could effectively step in as Acting President. However, my conversations with the Trustees have indicated concern that the Board not pre-empt — or appear to pre-empt — the eventual selection process by designating one of those individuals as Acting President. With that consideration, I wish to nominate as A^cting President a proven administrator, past president of another Michigan university, Honorary Alumnus and former dean at Michigan State University, Dr. Edgar Harden, the appointment to be effective on the yet-to-be determined termination date of President Wharton. The nomination was seconded by Trustee Smydra and unanimously approved. Gifts and Grants B. GIFTS AND GRANTS 1.

Selection of New President, cont. President Wharton reviewed existing procedures for the selection of a president and noted the need for the Academic Countil to update these procedures to fit current circumstances. Discussion re procedures for selection of new president E. ADDITIONAL ITEMS, cont. October 27-28, 1977 ,1,-- Selection of New President, cont. President WhartonTs comments were followed by interaction between the Board and faculty and student members of the University community. This discussion explored a variety of views as to the composition of the Search and Selection Committee, criteria which might be employed in forming the Search and Selection Committee, desirable attributes in potential applicants for the presidency, and the timetable for and procedural considerations relative to the search and selection process. From Trustees' comments it was apparent that this discussion had been helpful to them in better understanding the wide range of concerns which need to be considered in formulating procedures for the selection of a new president. It also appeared to be the consensus of the Board that it is essential for the final search and selection procedure to be one to which all parties concerned will willingly adhere. President Wharton then commented that the search and selection process will take several months even under the most optimistic assumptions. He observed that, in his opinion, the selection of a president is a governing board's single most important action. In view of this fact, it is extremely important for the search and selection process to be conducted properly even though it might mean that the process extends over several months.
