The Purdue University Board of Trustees made it officials today, selecting Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels to be the school’s 12th president.
Daniels will assume the post when his second and final term as governor ends in January.
"The balance of this calendar year I will use the time not consumed by my current duties to begin the process of earning by learning. Effective immediately, I will recuse myself from any partisan political activities or commentary," Daniels said.
