Former Department of Public Safety Chief Michael McNair departed AU Aug. 18 for personal reasons. McNair served as the chief of Public Safety for seven years.
Since the departure involves personal matters, which are confidential, no further information will be provided for McNair’s departure, according to Associate Director of Media Relations Maralee Csellar.
Csellar said in an email that the search process for a new Public Safety director has already begun.
Captain Norman Bailey and Lieutenant Martin Pfeifer will supervise DPS until a new director is hired. Bailey serves on the University Council and has worked at AU for seven years, while Pfiefer has been with the University for five years.
“There will be no interruption in Public Safety services as a result of the change,” Csellar said.
The AU community will be informed when a new Public Safety chief is hired.
