Look for an announcement this afternoon about a new president for Purdue University.
Purdue trustees are scheduled to meet at 3:30 p.m. Thursday on the third floor of the Stewart Center for a special meeting called earlier this week.
University officials were not going much beyond a note provided with the announcement that “an agenda will be provided at the meeting.”
“All I have to share is it’s worth your time and there will be a full media availability immediately after the meeting,” Trevor Peters, a Purdue spokesman, said.
But several sources on campus told BiL that the news will be about the search for a replacement for Mung Chiang, Purdue’s 13th president who left June 30 for a similar role at Northwestern University after serving 3½ years in Hovde Hall and six years before that as engineering dean.
