Mark Ghan, vice president of administrative and legal services, is Officer in Charge at Western until an Acting or Interim President is named. Former President Chester (Chet) Burton recently accepted the position of Chief Financial Officer for the Nevada System of Higher Education.
Chancellor Thom Reilly and Board of Regents Chair Kevin Page will visit WNC on September 18 to listen to faculty, students, and other constituencies about their wishes for an acting or interim president and a potential search. Their recommendation will then go to the Board of Regents for approval.
