K-State to form committee later this summer as search for new provost commences

Kansas State University will announce details in the coming weeks on how it will replace outgoing Provost Chuck Taber, who on Tuesday announced his retirement after the fall 2023 semester.

In a statement Wednesday in K-State Today, President Richard Linton thanked Taber for his leadership and announced that the university will begin the process of bringing together a search committee in the coming weeks to lead the search for a successor. The committee will likely be stood up in July, with interviews being conducted in the early part of the fall semester.

Linton says the goal is to have a new provost in place by early 2024.
