DECEMBER 10, 2004 -- Michigan Technological University's Board of Control voted unanimously Friday (Dec. 10) to approve a contract with MTU President Glenn Mroz.
Mroz was appointed to the position in March and has since been working without a contract. The agreement extends through June 30, 2007.
"We thought that it was merited based on his performance," said Mike Henricksen, vice chair of the Board of Control. "And the contract brings some finality to the interim situation."
Board Member Kathryn Clark agreed. "I'm pleased," she said. "Glenn has earned to right to a contract. He's done a wonderful job in very tough circumstances, and this gives him some stability."
The contract continues Mroz's annual salary of $195,000. It includes a provision allowing the board to change his compensation at its discretion.
The contract also allows Mroz to return to his former position as dean of the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, should he leave the president's post. In addition, it provides for one paid sabbatical year should he step down from the dean's post at a salary of $150,000.
The Board of Control initiated a national search for a new president after Curt Tompkins left the position in March. Board Member David Brule, who chairs the committee undertaking the search, said that he expects to have a short list of search firms to present to the board at its April meeting.
