Candidate list for ISU presidency getting shorter

by Linda Charles
Final candidates for the ISU presidency should be on campus for interviews in mid-January, said Benjamin Allen, chair of the search committee and dean of the College of Business.

The 27-member search committee, which has been meeting since early August, received more than 100 nominations (though some were duplicates), Allen said. An initial list of about 20 prospective candidates has been culled to seven to 10 by the committee and that list will be further pared to five candidates who will be invited to interview on campus.

Allen said he expects those interviews to start in mid- January. He added that there would be ample opportunity for people all across campus to meet the final candidates and provide feedback.

Allen also noted that search committee member Jennifer Bloomer, architecture, asked to be replaced for personal reasons and that Paul Anderson, landscape architecture, has taken her place.
