With a mid-March deadline, 63 people have applied for the UTM chancellor position, to be vacated by retiring Chancellor Nick Dunagan.
Of the applicants, 36 sent their application to the university and 27 submitted their application via Baker Parker Global Executive Search Inc., which the UT system has hired to administer an external search. UT system President Dr. John Petersen agreed to pay for the Baker Parker search.

According to an email from Dr. Jerald Ogg, once the applications are reviewed by a committee and campus interviews are conducted in early or mid-April, the responsibility to interview the recommended candidates will lie with Petersen. Students will be asked to attend, Ogg said.
