Good Morning,
One month remains until Ohio University President Roderick McDavis leaves OU, and the presidential search committee is closing in on hiring a replacement.
The forum process of the presidential search will conclude tonight as OU Executive Vice President and Provost Pam Benoit takes the hot seat in Baker Ballroom at 4:30 p.m.
Benoit, the only female candidate being considered for the position, is also the only candidate with an obvious connection to OU. She has served in her current position since 2009 and previously served in upper-level administrative roles at University of Missouri before coming to OU.
Previous candidates fielded questions about diversity, athletic funding and university-city relations, among other topics. You can read more about the timeline of McDavis’ final days here.
