Angelo State's Corporate Presidential Search

Angelo State University's Presidential Search Committee has a corporate bent.  Four members of the committee are businessmen. 

Mickey L. Long: Search Committee Chair & President of Westex/WLP Well Service.

Alvin New: San Angelo Mayor and former CEO of Town & Country Food Stores

John D. Steinmetz: President of Vista Bank in Lubbock

Jorge Velarde: Vice President and CFO of Multi-Chem

Two members are academic:

Leslie M. Mayrand, Ph.D., RN, CNS:  Dean of ASU’s College of Health & Human Services and Professor of Nursing.

David J. Tarver, Ed.D:  Professor of Curriculum & Instruction in the College of Education at Angelo State and former President of ASU’s Faculty Senate.

The remaining two members include:

Nancy Neal, RN:  Chair of the TTUS Board of Regents’ Academic, Clinical & Student Affairs Committee.

Suzanne Williams Taylor:  Student regent for the TTUS Board of Regents and ex officio member of the committee.

As an ex-officio member, TTU law student Suzanne Williams will have input but no vote.  That means the four businessmen, if aligned, can recommend ASU's next President to Chancellor Kent Hance.  I don't expect any Teresa Sullivans in ASU's future. This committee could ensure they fly a corporate flag.
