We have reached another point when we need your valuable > input. > During the past few months, our search consultant Jan Greenwood has been > reaching out to potential candidates to tell them UF's great story and our > hopes for the next president. That outreach will continue until our search > consultant identifies a pool of candidates and forwards it to the > Presidential Search Committee for consideration. The Search Committee then > must select the best qualified candidates to be brought to Gainesville for > interviews. > While we do not know when that will happen, we expect the campus interviews > to occur very soon after we receive the candidates' names in order to keep > the University of Florida's search moving at this time of high demand for > university leadership. There are more than 20 other research universities > searching for a president at this time, and about 10 of them are likely to be > interested in the same caliber of potential candidates as UF. For that > reason, we are trying to prepare in advance for these important interviews. > The Presidential Search Committee is requesting your input into the > development of the questions we will use in the interview process with > candidates who come to campus. We want to know what is important to you, and > what you would want to ask the candidates to help guide this important > decision. > If you recall, the Search Committee and Board of Trustees approved a list of > desired qualifications and criteria, which can be found under the Position > Profile tab on the Presidential Search website at > http://list.uff.ufl.edu/t/1170150/6632863/92084/0/. This document will serve > as the basis for the interviews, so please review it and develop your > questions from it. > You may submit your recommended questions by email to [email protected] > by November 7th. The Search Committee will review and consider the > submissions as it develops its questions for the interviews. > In addition to requesting your help with developing questions, we have an > update on last week's meetings of two search subcommittees. The groups were > charged with gathering information from experts on how peer AAU research > universities similar in complexity, size and scope to UF handle presidential > housing and compensation. Mercer, a national and international expert in > compensation and human resources, shared that 82 percent of peer universities > provide a house for their presidents and that the range of total compensation > packages, within the 25th to 75th percentiles of compensation, for peer > public university presidents is between $666,000 and $820,000. > We are sensitive to all public concerns involving compensation, particularly > in these economic times and the Compensation Subcommittee noted this in their > discussion. At the same time, the Subcommittee also noted, and we recognize, > that we will need to provide a market-competitive compensation package to > attract the strong leader needed by UF, one of the five most complex, > broad-scope and large-scale AAU research universities in the nation. > To meet those concerns, we will need to properly correlate market analysis > with the qualifications and demand for the selected candidate. Both reports, > have been provided to the full Presidential Search Committee and Board of > Trustees so that the Board will have the necessary market foundation when > determining compensation. > All of the measures included in today's update are important components of > the search process. I want you to know that we continue to hear from the > search consultant that there is a lot of excitement and interest in both UF > and the President's position among leaders of AAU and other major research > universities. I remain confident in our ability to find a strong, visionary > leader for our great university. > Thank you for your continuing support of this important search for the next > President of University of Florida. > Sincerely, > C.
