1. The search committee shall develop a statement of desired presidential qualifications that will guide the search and selection process and be shared with candidates and nomination sources.
2. The search committee shall adopt a timetable for the search that will permit the appointment of a president by March 1, 2004, or as soon thereafter as possible.
3. The search committee shall conduct an active national search to attract highly qualified candidates.
4. The search committee shall make periodic reports to the Board of Trustees and members of the college community about the progress of the search.
