Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Ikram Khawajia will serve as interim president until the search to replace Dunn is complete, Wasser said.

Youngstown Board of Trustees met Wednesday at 4 p.m. to officiate Dunn’s early leave. It is still undecided when Dunn will begin as president of SIU, which will be determined by the SIU Board of Trustees.

Dunn said he anticipates to begin July 1, considering SIU President Glenn Poshard’s contract ends June 30.

Dunn said he and his wife, Ronda, will use the time between positions by establishing their home in southern Illinois.
