The Iowa Board of Regents has selected the search committee tasked with finding Iowa State's next president. The panel includes 20 voting members who will find a replacement for Steven Leath, who resigns next month to become president at Auburn University. The group is lead by two co-chairs: Principal Financial Group President and CEO Dan Houston and ISU College of Design dean Luis Rico-Gutierrez. The committee also includes student government leaders, professors, representatives of the ISU Alumni Association and ISU Foundation, and four Board of Regents members. The committee is scheduled to hire a search firm early next month, identify semifinalists in mid to late August, and hire a new president in early October.
