After two five-year terms, Krane is leaving the associate VP-A position

In a recent email release, SFU announced the creation of a search committee to find a replacement for current Associate Vice President, Academic Bill Krane, who’s second five-year term will be up as of August 21, 2012, forcing his abdication of the position.

The current vice president acadmic Jan Sanderson told The Peak that the committee was comprised of elected members that represent faculty, staff, and students.  This group held a public meeting in mid-December of last year to encourage input as to the qualities and characteristics that would be desirable in a candidate for the position.

There was also been an open call for nominations and applications that closed on January 16.  As of yet there is no shortlist of possible candidates.

According to Sanderson, the approximate timeline for a decision is late February of this year.  The committee will then advise President Andrew Petter of their decision.  He in turn will make a recommendation to the board of governors who is authorized to make the appointment of a new associate vice president, academic.  The matter will go to the March board of governors meeting.
