A fourteen-person committee has been appointed to search for the University of Oregon’s next president. The Board of Trustees announced on Friday that Connie Ballmer will act as the committee chair, which is composed of faculty, administrators, a representative from another public university and another from the public at large.

The search committee doesn’t have a deadline to fill the position, which Scott Coltrane is performing on an interim basis. Instead, the search goes on until “a candidate who is well suited to lead the university is found.”

The university’s next president will be the first to report to the Board of Trustees, which took over much of the governance that was once handled by the Oregon State Board of Higher Education.

The search committee consists of Ballmer, whose husband Steve bought the Los Angeles Clippers and replaced Bill Gates as CEO of Microsoft, and a variety of other folks, including:

Barbara Altmann, senior vice provost for academic affairs.

Peter Bragdon, senior vice president of legal and corporate affairs for Columbia Sportswear.

Rudy Chapa, former global vice president for sports marketing for Nike.

Bill Cresko, director of the UO Institute of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

Joe Gonyea III, partner and CEO of Timber Products Company in Springfield.

Robin Holmes, UO vice president for student life.

Mariann Hyland, member of the UO President’s Diversity Advisory Community Council.

Leslie Leve, professor in the College of Education’s Department of Counseling Psychology and Human Services.

Chris Maples, president of the Oregon Institute of Technology.

Jamie Moffit, UO vice president for finance and administration as well as the school’s CFO.

Michael Moffitt, dean of the UO School of Law.

Joseph Robertson, president of Oregon Health and Science University.

Paul Weinhold, president and CEO of the UO Foundation.

Michael Gottfredson resigned from the position in early August. His contract wasn’t set to expire until June 30, 2016. Gottfredson said that his decision to step down was inspired in part by a desire to spend more time with his family, a motivation The Oregonian reported is usually associated with forced departures.

He received a $940,000 severance package upon his resignation.

An advisory group will be appointed to aid Ballmer and the search committee over the next few days.
