STARKVILLE - The Mississippi State University Faculty Senate got a boost from its Hattiesburg counterpart in its push for an open search to replace MSU President Charles Lee.

"We think those who will be led by a new president should have a pretty significant involvement in the search process," said Myron Henry, a USM faculty senator.
The USM group took action after hearing a presentation from Mark Goodman, MSU Faculty Senate president. Goodman opposes the closed search and has invited potential MSU presidential candidates to the Starkville campus to visit with faculty. ...
