YSU provost search progresses

YOUNGSTOWN — The committee searching for a new provost and vice president of academic affairs at Youngstown State University hopes to narrow the list of candidates to about 10 on Feb. 22.

That’s the official cutoff date for applications in a national search that began last fall to replace Dr. Robert K. Herbert who drowned in the Pacific Ocean while vacationing in Costa Rica in July 2007. Herbert had been at YSU for just two years.
