The Murray State University Board of Regents has set its March 2014 meeting to coincide with the final presidential candidates' visits to campus.

Board Chair Constantine Curris told regents at Friday's quarterly meeting they should plan to be on campus from March 11-15 to meet with Witt/Kieffer consultants and the presidential finalists. The board decided to keep the presidential search confidential until the finalists are chosen. Then they will release the names to the community.

The board also cut doctoral tuition waivers for employees from six classes to two and named several buildings on both the Paducah and Murray campuses. The MSU board will decide on renovations to the University library at their next meeting Dec. 6.
