Online: Comment on presidential search

he University has launched a new Web site (www.rochester.edu/presidentialsearch) as a mechanism to invite comment on the search for a new University president. The site also will provide information about the search process as it proceeds, including membership in the Trustees' Presidential Search Committee, Advisory Committee, and affiliated groups.

President Jackson announced March 5 that he intends to step down effective June 30, 2005. Board of Trustees chairman G. Robert Witmer Jr. will chair the search effort, which begins this spring. Witmer has noted that he intends "to make sure that the various constituencies of the University have opportunities for meaningful participation in the process."

Paul Burgett, University vice president and general secretary, will serve as secretary to the Trustees' Presidential Search Committee.
