Oregon State Board
seeks new chancellor
■ The process to replace
Chancellor Joe Cox after his
retirement will entail many
steps in the coming year
By Eric Martin
Oregon Daily Emerald
An executive committee and
search firm will soon begin
trolling for a successor to the Ore
gon State Board of Higher Educa
tion chancellor. By casting a net
nationwide, they hope to entice
the best candidate available to
preside on the governing body of
Oregon’s seven public
universities.
Chancellor Joe Cox announced
July 17 his intention to retire by
spring 2002, citing personal rea
sons and health concerns. He suf
fered a heart attack Sept. 8. Cox
returned to work full-time one
month later and has assisted in
the search for his successor.
The search firm, which could
be one of 12 national or two Ore
gon-based firms, will work in tan
dem with the executive commit
tee to locate candidates
nationwide that meet credentials
specified by the committee.
Search firms are selected based on
costand resources.
Cox, who has served as chan
cellor since 1994, said the initial
pool of candidates could easily
exceed 100 people.
“It’s a process similar, and yet
different, to selecting a presi
dent,” Cox said. “The chancellor
has a narrower set of
constituencies.”
Sometime in February, the
search firm will arrange a meeting
with the executive committee to
review qualified candidates. That
pool, which will also consist of
candidates contacted by the com
mittee, will be trimmed to
roughly 30.
“Let’s say in mid-February the
search firm has narrowed beyond
the list of 30 or 25 to the top 10 to
15,” Cox said. “At that time the
search firm will do in depth refer
ence and background checking,
and we’ll have a full dossier on all
the major candidates.
“Then it gets difficult.”
The executive committee then
will pare the pool to six or eight
by reviewing the dossiers, making
calls to the candidates and dis
cussing credentials in meetings.
“Those, if they remain interest
ed, will be brought to Oregon to
meet the executive committee and
the university presidents,” Cox
said. “Then, the executive com
mittee will bring the pool down to
the finalists; I’d guess anywhere
from three to five.”
Those candidates will then
make presentations to a body of
students, faculty, lawmakers,
business representatives and oth
ers. The candidates will be asked
to elaborate on their plans for
guiding the university system
through the next 10 years.
“There’s a question-and-answer
session with the audience,” Cox
said, “but the board members are
also interested in seeing how the
chemistry goes. How do they do
on their feet? How is the audience
reacting?”
The full state board of higher
education then meets to finalize
the decision.
Tim Young, a student member
of the board, said he understands
the selection process must be ex
peditious, but is concerned that
student and faculty input doesn’t
register until the majority of can
didates have been screened.
“It’s crucial — crucial — that
faculty and students have a voice
in this decision,” said Young, a
University political science major.
“Whenyouhavea
presidential search
committee, it consists of
faculty, staff and the
community. For the
chancellor, it's just the
excutive committee. I think
there needs to be greater
access, and I don’t think
that’s happening right now.
It’s definitely left the board
open to criticism.”
Erin Watari
student board member
Southern Oregon University
Cox said that he has issued e
mails to faculty and students re
questing they list the qualities
they believe a chancellor must
possess, and that those comments
are passed to executive committee
members.
The other student member of
the state board, Erin Watari, also
has been critical of the selection
process because she says people
of color are not represented on the
executive committee.
“I think that’s one of the is
sues,” said Watari, a political sci
ence major at Southern Oregon
University in Ashland. “But
there is a whole bigger issue on
representation. When you have a
presidential search committee, it
consists of faculty, staff and the
community. For the chancellor,
it’s just the executive committee.
I think there needs to be greater
access, and I don’t think that’s
happening right now. It’s defi
nitely left the board open to criti
cism.”
