The records of the North Carolina State University Chancellor Search Committees include minutes, reports, correspondence, surveys, and job announcements for the six searches that occurred between 1952 and 1998. These searches were conducted in 1952-1953, 1958-1959, 1974-1975, 1981-1982, 1989-1990, and 1997-1998. The Chancellor Search Committee is charged by the President to advertise the position of Chancellor, create consensus around desired qualifications for the position, and recruit and assess candidates. The Committee concludes its duties by recommending a list of candidates (usually three names) to the President for consideration of the position of Chancellor. The structure of the Committee has varied across years, but committee members are usually drawn from the University Trustees, faculty, staff, and student body. Committee members usually range in number from ten to twenty-five committe. Some years there have been multiple subcommittees. The Chancellor is the chief administrative and executive officer, leader and spokesperson of North Carolina State University and reports to the President of the University of North Carolina General Administration and the Board of Governors, whose members are appointed by the North Carolina legislature. The Chancellor defines the scope and authority of faculties, councils, committees, and officers of North Carolina State University, is a member of all faculties and other academic bodies of the university, and has the right to preside over the deliberations of the legislative bodies of the faculties of the institution. The Office of the Chancellor retains authority in faculty and EPA personnel, student matters, contracts, leases, and other agreements, and the acquisition and disposition of property. Less
