Board extends application period for chairperson

The board voted to appoint Brandon Chapman as board chair for the remainder of the 2014 summer term.

The decision came after an extensive discussion, which concluded with the board going in-camera to discuss the merits of the potential candidates. Candidate profiles were presented by a task force, appointed on June 3, which was comprised of at-large representative Jeremy Pearce, VP student life Kayode Fatoba, president Chardaye Bueckert, and VP external relations Darwin Binesh.

Although the task force officially recommended Harp Palmer be appointed as the external chair, not all members of the task force were in agreement due to Palmer’s unavailability in August.
