Dr. Calhoun Named to U-T Arlington Search Committee

TYLER — The president of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler, Dr. Kirk A. Calhoun, is one of 16 people appointed to the committee that will advise The University of Texas System Board of Regents on the selection of the next president of The University of Texas at Arlington. Board of Regents Chairman Gene Powell named the members of the advisory search committee yesterday. The committee will recommend a list of potential candidates, without ranking them, for the board to consider. The next president of UT Arlington will succeed President James Spaniolo, who in June announced his intention to leave the top post once his successor is in place.

In 2011, Dr. Calhoun also served on the board of regents’ search committee that recommended candidates for president of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
