Mississippi State Provost and Executive Vice President David Shaw, chair of the university鈥檚 search committee for its next vice president for the Division of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine (DAFVM), announced today [March 27] that the search is being postponed, but the committee remains in place.
