SIU to Launch Search For New Chancellor

Southern Illinois University at Carbondale will launch a search for a new chancellor in the coming months.

The Southern Illinoisan reports the search is being conducted at the same time that the Board of Trustees is searching for a new president of the SIU system.

The chairman of the university's board of trustees said they hope to complete the presidential search by the end of this year, so that the new system leader will be able to interview candidates and make a recommendation.
