The Adams State University Board of Trustees met in executive session on Monday, February 12, 2018, to discuss the leadership that the university needs to meet the significant challenges it currently faces. The Board of Trustees and ASU President Beverlee McClure have agreed that the priorities of the current Board are no longer congruent with the priorities of the president, and the parties are therefore working to accomplish a mutually agreeable resolution. Dr. McClure will be on leave while the parties work through the details of a transition. The Board has asked Dr. Matt Nehring to temporarily assume the duties and responsibilities of president. The Board has full confidence in Dr. Nehring and believes that he has the leadership to guide the campus for the immediate future.
