The announcement follows the departure of longtime president Emir Caner, who led the university for 17 years. Interim president John Yarbrough was affirmed by the board of trustees in September after serving as acting president since June.
According to the release, nominations and applications will be accepted November 3–28, 2025, as the search committee considers candidates who demonstrate a deep commitment to TMU’s mission, values and vision.
