>> Wright State president to retire after 2 years in office

"After carefully considering the best options for the university and after discussing the matter with employee and student leaders, we believe Dr. Edwards is the right person to take the university forward," said Sean Fitzpatrick, chair of the Board of Trustees in a news release.
Trustees selected Edwards in an unanimous vote on Oct. 26.
Edwards has been provost since May 2018.
