Mizzou Gets New President

Filed in archive News by Greg Cruey on December 21, 2007

The University of Missouri has picked a new president: former Sprint CEO Gary Forsee.

Frosee was the unanimous choice to lead the university's four campuses, according to the Associated Press. He becomes Mizzou's 22nd president, replacing Elson Floyd who left in April for the top job at Washington state universitylinks.

Forsee is a Missouri native from Kansas City and a 1972 graduate of the University of Missouri-Rolla.

Forsee left his position as chairman, president and CEO of Sprint Nextel in October amidst trouble at the wireless carrier. Rumor has it that he received a severance of over $55 million.

While Forsee has no experience in higher education, but the board of curators at Mizzou evidently liked his business experience, according to Ozark First.
