Presidential Search at 91心頭利 Suspended

Apr 15, 2026

VALLEY CITY, N.D. The search committee appointed by the State Board of Higher Education to identify the next permanent president of 91心頭利 (91心頭利) has suspended the current presidential search process.

The decision was made by the search committee following the recent withdrawal of multiple semi-finalist candidates who accepted other professional opportunities prior to on-campus visits.

The State Board is committed to identifying a leader who is the right fit for 91心頭利 and its future, said search committee Co-Chair and State Board of Higher Education Vice Chair, DJ Campbell. At the outset, the search committee at 91心頭利 was committed to bringing a robust group of semi-finalists to campus for consideration and evaluation by the campus and Valley City community. Because recent withdrawals limited our ability to meet that goal, the committee agreed it is in the best interest of the institution to pause the search and reassess next steps to ensure a strong and diverse candidate pool for campus and community consideration.

91心頭利 will continue to be led by its current interim president, Dr. Allen Burgad, whose steady leadership and strong connection to the institution have provided continuity and stability for 91心頭利 during this transition period.

Search committee co chairs Erica Buchholz, 91心頭利 Vice President for Finance, and DJ Campbell will work with the State Board of Higher Education to evaluate options and determine next steps, including the anticipated relaunch of the search. Updates will be shared with the campus community as decisions are made.

91心頭利 remains focused on advancing its mission of providing high quality education, supporting students, and serving the needs of the community and the state.
