Sugg Recommends Gearhart for UA Post
posted 5:14 pm Wed January 23, 2008 - Fayetteville
University of Arkansas President B. Alan Sugg says he plans to recommend G. David Gearhart as the Fayetteville campus' next chancellor.
Gearhart is the university's vice chancellor for university advancement and an education professor. If selected, he would replace John White, who announced his resignation this month.
Sugg told faculty and staff members of his recommendation Wednesday. Sugg says he will make his recommendation to the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees at its meeting Friday.
Gearhart, 55, has served as a vice chancellor since 1998. He is a native of Fayetteville and an Arkansas graduate.
White's retirement is effective June 30.

I know nothing about this gentleman, rather than what is printed today, and I'm not questioning his credentials, but it still makes me wonder why Sugg is staying within, the old administration hires. I believe it would help the University to once again go outside for the hire, rather than remain within the same "Boys Club." Sometimes, new blood heals a lot of wounds! JMO
