The Council of Trustees began its initial stages of building a committee for the search of the future West Chester University President.
According to a Presidential Search Update, written by Darlene Laverty on Aug. 23, 2007, staff assistant of the presidential search committee, on June 19, 2007 a trustee group was formed in order to "consider a number of executive search firms."
The presidential search committee will be advised under the consultation of R.H. Perry and Associates.
Furthermore, the presidential search committee chairperson is Bernard Carrozza, Ed.D, who actually served as the vice-president of the same committee who selected Madeleine Wing Adler.
The Council of Trustees has "specific and limited duties," according to Carrozza. They approve the university's annual budget in addition to approving institution policies. Monthly public meetings are held as well to ensure the effective university business. The Council is not the supervisor to the president; however, the council is present be a "supportive role" in the university's endeavors.
"It is our responsibility to make sure the university is running smoothly," Carrozza said.
The policy, entitled Act 188 and formed in 1982, serves as the legislation which directs the Pennsylvania State School System of Higher Education (PASSHE) and legislates the policies of the Board of Governors (consisting of 20 members). It is the Council's responsibility to help initiate a search if a new university president is needed. The Council, which is under the jurisdiction of the Board of Governors, will have three representatives on the search committee. These three members are Carrozza, Tom Fillipio and Cathie Whitlock. They have had their names recommended to Chancellor of the Board of Governors Judy Hample according to the update.
Typically, nine to 10 people will serve on the committee, and these names are selected from recommendations from constituency groups with whom the Council corresponded. These positions include an "executive, non-instructional and alumni positions," according to the update
