After having all but one of the finalists for MSSU's VP search drop out of the running, Dr. Speck has declared the search 'failed', according to the Joplin Globe. Dr. Peter Johnstone withdrew his name sometime in the last few days. Brian Chapman, a biology professor and former academic affairs vice president at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, had withdrawn from the race last week.
According the the Joplin Globe, the remaining finalist for the job, Charles Cullum, a professor of English and former associate provost and dean of graduate students at Kutztown (Pa.) University, said he would not reapply if the university mounted a new search.
Southern's search for a new VP is a result of the abrupt resignation of Jack Oakes this past summer. Mr. Oakes, a former faculty member, resigned after only three weeks on the job siting conflicts in management style with Dr. Speck, MSSU's president.
