1. Report and Recommendations of the Ad Hoc WNCC Presidential
Search Committee
A report and recommendations of the ad hoc WNCC Presidential
Search Committee were made by Regent Daniel Klaich, Chair-
man.
Mr. Klaich thanked Chairman of the Board of Regents James
Eardley for giving him the opportunity to Chair this Com-
mittee. It has certainly been a positive experience and
has drawn him closer to WNCC's faculty and staff. He ex-
pressed his appreciation to Secretary of the Board Mary
Lou Moser and Assistant to the WNCC President Terry Tauebel
for all their assistance in making his search process run
smoothly. He commended all those who served on the Search
Committee for their hard work and dedication to the Search
Committee.
The ad hoc WNCC Presidential Search Committee requested 3
semi-finalists to return to Nevada in order to visit the
WNCC Campus and to meet with members of the Board of Regents
and other interested persons. Dr. Carol Ann Lucy declined
the invitiation to Nevada due to accepting another position.
Dr. James Randolph and Dr. Glenn Mayle did return to Nevada
for Campus and Statewide visits. The Committee conducted
its final meeting earlier in the day. Mr. Klaich reported
that the Institutional Advisory Committee and the Board of
Regents' ad hoc WNCC Presidential Search Committee both
recommend Dr. James Randolph as the next WNCC President.
In consultation with the Chairman of the Board and the
Chancellor, Mr. Klaich recommended that the Board of Re-
gents offer Dr. Randolph $100,000 annual salary, $6000
automobile allowance, $5000 host account, insurance and
benefits to include 1/2 retirement funding, and moving
expenses in accordance with the State of Nevada regulations.
Mr. Klaich moved approval of the appointment of Dr. James
R. Randolph as WNCC's 3rd President with the above stated
terms and conditions. Mrs. Price seconded.
Mr. Klaich amended the motion to include a 3-year contract
be included in the above stated terms and conditions. Mrs.
Price seconded.
Mrs. Sparks expressed her appreciation to the members of
the Board who took the time to meet with the candidates,
and thanked Mr. Klaich for his Chairing the Committee and
the Committee members for their efforts in completing this
most important assignment.
Mr. Klaich stated that he was very proud of the way each
member of the Committee conducted themselves during the
open search process. Upon questioning, Mr. Klaich indicated
that each member of the Institutional Advisory Committee had
voting rights. He explained that both the Institutional
Advisory Committee and the Regents' Committee worked col-
lectively throughout the process and voted as a single
body, until the final meeting. At that time the Institu-
tional Advisory Committee made its recommendation to the
Regents' ad hoc Committee, who then made its own recommenda-
tion which has been forwarded to the full Board of Regents
at this time.
Mrs. Price stated that Mr. Klaich performed a fine job as
Chairman and he made it clear that each member of the Com-
mittee had a voice in the process. Mr. Klaich addressed
all questions that were asked during the search process.
Chairman Eardley stated that he was proud of everyone in-
volved in this search process. The Board of Regents has
conducted 5 searches this year and it has required much
dedication and long hours.
Mr. Graves commended both Mr. Klaich and Mrs. Sparks for
hosting the candidates.
Motion carried.
Chairman Eardley directed Chancellor Jarvis and Mr. Klaich
to call the candidates to inform them of the appointment.
The meeting adjourned at 3:30 P.M.
