Current FSU President John Thrasher and Board of Trustees Chair Ed Burr say the school will begin the process to search for a new president. They pointed to the ‘potential impacts of COVID-19’ on why they wanted to kickstart the process. Burr says he doesn’t plan to name an interim president. Thrasher will stay in his position until a new president takes over. The FSU Board of Trustees will meet again to discuss creating a presidential search committee.
