January 15, 2025 - 21:27
Beverly Johnson and Russel Crary have been selected as finalists for two open seats on the state Board of Higher Education. They are among six candidates whose names have been submitted for consideration. The appointments will be made by Governor Kelly Armstrong, who holds the responsibility of selecting the new members to the board.
Once the governor makes the appointments, the nominees will require confirmation from the Senate to officially take their positions. This board plays a crucial role in overseeing the state's higher education institutions, making decisions that impact students, faculty, and the overall educational landscape.
Both Johnson and Crary bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table, and their potential appointment is anticipated to contribute positively to the board's mission. The final decision is expected to be made soon, with many in the community closely watching the developments.
