A search committee has recommended the Council on Postsecondary Education hire Dr. Richard A. Crofts as interim president while the search for a permanent president proceeds. Most recently, Crofts served as commissioner of higher education (the equivalent of the CPE president) in Mississippi. Prior to that, he held the same position in Montana. He currently is retired and lives in Palmetto, Fla. He's a former Kentucky resident who graduated from Fern Creek High School and Georgetown College. The search for a permanent CPE president is expected to take six to 10 months.
