Trustees will meet in a special executive session at 4 p.m. Friday in room 267 of university hall. Trustees met in private twice last week to discuss the presidential candidates but reached no decision on who will become the university’s next leader.
At the end of last week the search was narrowed to two candidates as a third dropped out.
The presidential search committee and Wright State trustees are expected to choose between Deborah Ford, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, and Cheryl Schrader, chancellor of the Missouri University of Science and Technology.
The board would like to make a decision soon and trustees will likely name a new president before the original goal of April, trustee and search committee chairman Doug Fecher has said.
