RICHMOND Ky.
A state representative said he may consider pursuing the vacant president’s job at Eastern Kentucky University.
State Rep. Harry Moberly, D-Richmond, said he will consider applying for the position once the search for a permanent replacement for Joanne Glasser is under way. Moberly, who works at the university as director of student judicial affairs and services for individuals with disabilities at the university, said he would not be interested in becoming the interim president.
Moberly said he wants to get through the upcoming budget session of the General Assembly before making any commitments about pursuing the president’s position.
“I haven’t had anytime to think about it since this has all happened so quickly. I didn’t have any notice that the president was going to resign this week,” Moberly said.
Eastern Kentucky University’s Board of Regents is set to meet Monday in the first step in replacing Glasser, who resigned last week to accept the job as president of Bradley University in Peoria, Ill.
Hunter Bates, chairman of the Board of Regents, said the board will first look for an interim president, then take up conducting a national search for Glasser’s replacement.
