The Kansas Board of Regents has selected retired Air Force General Richard B. Myers as the 14th president of Kansas State University. Myers had been serving as the interim president of the institution.
Myers said he chose to apply for the permanent position because of his love for the university, the state of Kansas, and his passion for the educational mission of K-State.
Myers, a retired four-star Air Force general and the former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, replaces outgoing K-State president Kirk Schulz.
