Forsee will take over for Floyd, who now serves as president of Washington State University, and follows Gordon H. Lamb, the system’s interim president since April. Lamb will remain the system’s executive vice president through the end of the year per Forsee’s request.
The 57-year-old Missouri native has signed a three-year contract with a $400,000 annual salary, plus up to $100,000 in annual incentive pay. The potential bonus will be deferred until he has completed the three years of his presidency.
Forsee will also speak Thursday at the Missouri Press Association/Associated Press Day at the Missouri Capitol.
