FGCU Presidential Search Poised for Restart
A search committee is getting two new members as it again looks for a successor to outgoing Florida Gulf Coast University President Mike Martin.
Black Gable, chairman of the university’s trustees, said Tuesday that Arie van Duijn and Ashley Coone will no longer sit on the 13-member committee and will be replaced by trustee Joseph Fogg and professor Shelton Weeks.
Weeks also is director of the university’s Lucas Institute for Real Estate Development and Finance.
The Fort Myers-based university conducted a search last year and ended up in November with one finalist for the job, Robert Gregerson, president of the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg and a former dean of FGCU’s College of Arts and Sciences.
That came after two other finalists dropped their bids.
The university’s Board of Trustees subsequently decided to reopen the search, with Martin staying in the position longer than expected.
The committee is slated Friday to discuss a schedule of future meetings and the potential hiring of a new search firm to help find candidates, a meeting agenda posted on the school’s website said.
