The UI presidential search has been opened to UI student opinion through the student sub-committee, chaired by Associated Students of the University of Idaho President Lance Butikofer. This sub-committee will be hearing student opinions through an online survey, as well as five “student listening sessions” that will be held throughout the next month.
“As a part of that process, I have been selected to chair the student committee…that will directly advise the presidential search committee in the process to search, interview, and select your next president at the University of Idaho,” said Butikofer during presidential communications at the Wednesday, Oct. 28, ASUI Senate meeting.
Three of these sessions will be held in Moscow: Monday, Nov. 2 from10 a.m. to 11 a.m., in the Clearwater/Whitewater room of the ISUB, Thursday, Nov. 5 from11 a.m. to 12 p.m.in the Panorama Room on the fourth floor of the ISUB, and on Tuesday, Nov. 10 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Clearwater/Whitewater room of the ISUB.
A listening session will also be held on the Boise campus on Monday, Nov. 9 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. (MST) in room 107 of the Front Street Building. A virtual session will be held on Wednesday Nov. 4, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., and the link to join can be found on the ASUI Instagram page. .

The presidential search committee introduced global organizational consulting firm, Korn Ferry to assist with the UI presidential search, which was announced on Oct. 22. Korn Ferry was founded in 1969, and grew into prominence in 1981, as an executive search firm. An executive search firm is used as a way to recruit candidates for senior roles, on behalf of the clients that hire them, according to Korn Ferry’s website.
