Starting Tuesday, finalists to be MU’s next vice chancellor for inclusion, diversity and equity will appear in virtual candidate presentations and open forums.

The first is Maurice Gipson, vice chancellor for diversity and community engagement at Arkansas State University. His forum will be from 9 to 10 a.m. Tuesday. Gipson’s CV and cover letter can be viewed on the search webpage.

The names of the other two finalists will not be released until between 24 and 48 hours before their forums, MU spokesman Christian Basi said. The next forums are next Monday and May 20.

Forums will be held via a Zoom webinar hosted by search committee co-chairs Pat Okker, dean of the College of Arts and Science, and Michael Middleton, MU professor emeritus and former MU deputy chancellor and interim UM system president.
