Ball State University is ready to announce its next president – nearly a year to the day its previous leader resigned.
The university's Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting Tuesday afternoon, with the agenda only listing one item – appointment of the school's 16th president.
The Muncie university has had an acting president since Paul Ferguson resigned last January. University officials have not given a reason why Ferguson spent only a year-and-a-half at Ball State's helm, calling it a "personnel matter" and citing a legal agreement between the school and Ferguson.
Board members have previously said that a new leader will likely begin running the school in July.
