The Kansas Board of Regents voted Thursday to name Dr. Richard H. Linton as the 15th president of Kansas State University. Dr. Linton is the Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North Carolina State University. He leads a college of more than 300 faculty that are housed in 12 different departments with more than 4,200 undergraduate and graduate students. Dr. Linton was chosen by a committee-led search to find the next university president. The process began following current university president Richard Myers' May announcement of his retirement at the end of the 2021 calendar year. Dr. Linton is scheduled to start at Kansas State after the beginning of the spring semester. The following is an audio version of GoPowercat publisher Tim Fitzgerald about the selection of Linton.
