STATEMENT BY THE RECTOR

The Rector said that Mr. Robert M. O'Neil's resignation as President will be effective December 1, 1990. In case a successor is found earlier, the date may be moved up, but not earlier than July 1, 1990.

He announced the membership of a Board Committee to nominate a President. He explained that The Manual of the Board of Visitors provides that the Rector is to serve as Chair of the Search Committee. He said he will serve as Chair until he retires as a Member of the Board of Visitors at the end of February 1990.

  • The Search Committee will be as follows:
  • Joshua P. Darden, Jr., Chairman
  • Charles L. Brown
  • Robert G. Butcher, Jr.
  • N. Thomas Connally, M.D.
  • Edward E. Elson
  • Waller H. Horsley
  • Lemuel E. Lewis
  • Elizabeth D. Morie

The Rector said the Committee will rely heavily on faculty, students, and alumni. He expressed the hope that the process can move along promptly.

The Rector concluded his statement by saying that every effort will be made to clear up the apparent confusion about the growth issue. He announced that it is the intention of the Board to reach a decision about growth at the January, 1990 meeting.

Following a recess for an Executive Session of the Board of Visitors, the Open Session continued at 2:30 p.m., on October 6, 1989.
