Confidentiality Oath:
Section 2.4 of the WVCTCS rule on presidential employment and evaluation states “Members of the governing board, or any search committee appointed, may not provide information about names or backgrounds of any candidates, without their consent, to anyone who is not a member of the governing board or search committee, or authorized agents or staff as designated in the search procedures approved by the Commission.”
To adhere to this rule, and to emphasize the need for complete confidentiality and discretion during the presidential search process, all members of the Board and the presidential search committee, and any administrative staff assisting with the search, will be asked to sign a confidentiality statement confirming their commitment to abide by this rule.
The Board of Governors Chair will be responsible for final selection of those who will serve.
