The Florida State University Board of Trustees has created a committee to replace President John Thrasher. Board Chair Ed Burr says the 15-member committee will have an important job.
"Everyone understands the importance—it will be a national search. It will be a transparent search. It will be open and done under all the guidelines of the Sunshine laws, and it will be one that I think we'll be proud of and will encourage participation in," Burr says.
The search was kickstarted earlier than expected due to potential impacts from COVID-19. Committee members include Joe Camps, a former FSU Board of Trustees member, and DeVoe Moore, owner of the Tallahassee Automobile Museum. Thrasher will stay in his position until a new president is found.
