K-State dips into its own pool to make an interesting choice for caretaker.
In a news release yesterday, the Kansas Board of Regents announced that retired Air Force General Richard B. Myers, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will step in as interim President of Kansas State University on the departure of Dr. Kirk Schulz to Washington State.
Myers, a Kansas Citian who graduated from Shawnee Mission North in 1960, currently holds the position of Foundation Professor of Military History at K-State. He is an alumnus, graduating in 1965 with a B.A. in Mechanical Engineering, and received his MBA from Auburn-Montgomery while in the service.
