A Manhattan native and K-State grad who serves on the board that will pick the next university president says he expects that person to be in place by the start of the fall semester next year.
Matt Crocker, a member of the Kansas Board of Regents, also says there’s no need for a turnaround artist, since K-State is in a good position with “some wind at its back,” noting rising enrollment and big state and private investments in agriculture facilities and programs.
“It’s on the right track,” Crocker said in a recent interview with The Manhattan Mercury. “I’m confident that with some of the things we’ve seen, we’ll get some very qualified candidates to apply for the position.”
