WEST LIBERTY -- West Liberty University's Presidential Search Committee has narrowed the candidate list for its next president to nine.
The committee met Sunday with its search firm to consider the 59 applicants that applied to be the university’s 38th president. Of those applicants, nine will be contacted for interviews on April 3-4, the university said.
A new president is needed after West Liberty University’s Board of Governors chose not to renew the contract of past president W. Franklin Evans. During his two-year tenure at the hilltop campus, Evans was found to have plagiarized portions of several speeches, and faced constant faculty opposition.
The next regular meeting of the full Board of Governors is Wednesday.
