  • Progress with Diversity 1971-1993
    Chapter Six Progress with Diversity 1971-1993 Seventy-six years after its founding, Concordia College was searching for only its fourth president. Procedures for selecting a president in synodical institutions had changed significantly since Concordia last elected a president. A faculty-selected presidential election com­ mittee of one person from each academic division is charged with gathering biographical information and professional evaluations on all candidates nominated for the presidency. The committee makes a comparative analysis of the nominees and chooses the final slate of candidates to submit to the electors for their vote. Although pro­ cedural variations are possible, this was the technique used to choose Concordia's fourth through eighth presidents. Presidential elections are determined by representatives from the four jurisdictions of the institution. They are the president of the Missouri Synod, the President of the synodical district in which the institution is located, the chairman of the Board for Higher Education, and the members of the Board of Control (the name was changed to the Board of Regents in 1981) as a group with one vote. If necessary, any one of the first three electors may have his official representative vote in his place in the election. The individuals then serving in these positions comprised the electors who assembled at Concordia College on January 25, 1971. The electors considered a final slate of candidates recommended from the 93 initial nominees. Chosen as president-elect was the Reverend Harvey A Stegemoeller, a 41-year old associate professor of history and political science at Concordia Senior College in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
