More than a month and a half after President Ann Weaver Hart announced her resignation, the university announced its Presidential Search Committee, today.

Twelve members of the Board of Trustees, two faculty members and one student representative will sit on the committee.

The 12 committee members include: Chairman Patrick J. O’Connor, Theodore Z. Davis, Ronald R. Donatucci, Richard J. Fox, Lewis F. Gould, Jr., Lewis Katz, Susanna E. Lachs, Theodore A. McKee, Mitchell L. Morgan, Bret S. Perkins, Daniel H. Polett and Jane Scaccetti.

President of Faculty Senate, Paul S. LaFollette, Jr. and Faculty Member Luis T. Gonzalez del Valle will represent the faculty in the search.

Temple Student Government Student Body President Colin Saltry is the student on the committee.

The university has hired Witt/Kieffer, a firm specializing in nonprofit and education executive searches, to conduct the search. The firm was also used to hire Larry Kaiser, now CEO of the Temple University Health System.

Hart will officially leave the position June 30, 2012.
