Okla. St. provost selected new U of Wyo. president
Posted 2/26/13
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Oklahoma State Provost Robert Sternberg has been named president of the University of Wyoming.
The UW Board of Trustees unanimously decided Tuesday that Sternberg would become the 24th president of Wyoming's only four-year public university. He will take office July 1, succeeding the retiring Tom Buchanan.
Sternberg's three-year contract will have an annual base salary of $425,000.
The decision ends a search that was to be entirely secret until media outlets successfully sued to disclose the finalists' names. UW released the names last Friday and interviewed the four finalists last weekend.
The other finalists were: Douglas D. Baker, University of Idaho provost and executive vice president; Warwick M. Bayly, provost and executive vice president at Washington State University; and Kim Wilcox, former Michigan State University provost and executive vice president.
