Quote:The Ball State University Board of Trustees today named Paul W. Ferguson the university’s 15th president. Ferguson’s appointment was unanimously approved at a special board meeting and press conference on campus in Sursa Hall before an audience of students, alumni, faculty and university friends.

...

Ferguson currently serves as the president of the University of Maine, the state’s flagship campus in Orono. During his tenure there, he led the university in a comprehensive and extensive strategic planning process: The Blue Sky Project: Reaffirming Public Higher Education at Maine’s Flagship University. That plan focuses on transforming both the undergraduate and graduate student experience and revitalizing the state through research, innovation and economic development partnerships. Establishing fiscal sustainability is a key tenet of the plan, with an emphasis on both research funding and fundraising.

Surprised they didn't ask Dave L since he will be retiring from CBS in about a year. Would have been a huge coup and likely worth several more millions

Hope Ferguson can make the trip to Amherst on Nov 12th, seeing he spent a lot of time in Maine.
