<p class="MsoNormal" style="">(Boise).
The co-chairs for the University of Idaho presidential search committee, Paul
Agidius and Sue Thilo have announced that two candidates will visit the
University of Idaho. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Kansas
State University Provost, Dr. Duane Nellis will visit the University of Idaho
campus in Moscow as well as UI locations in Coeur d'Alene, Boise and Idaho
Falls. Nellis' visit will start Monday, February 2, 2009 in Coeur d'Alene, UI
Moscow and UI Boise on Tuesday, February 3, and finish with a visit to
University Place in Idaho Falls on Wednesday, February 4, 2009. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Montana
State University Provost, Dr. David Dooley, will visit the University of Idaho
campus in Coeur d'Alene on Sunday evening, February 8<sup>th</sup>, followed by
a tour and meetings of UI in Moscow on Monday, February 9, as well as UI Boise
that evening. Dr. Dooley will finish his campus tours/visits with meetings and
tours in Idaho Falls on Tuesday, February 10, 2009.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><i>"This
search process attracted an exceptionally strong field of candidates," </i>said
Regent, and committee co-chair Sue Thilo. <i>"Our committee was very impressed
by everyone we interviewed. </i>Fellow co-chair and Regent Paul Agidius added, <i>"I'm
anxious for these two finalists to visit the campus.</i> <i>They bring a very
impressive skill set with them." </i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">The
Idaho State Board of Education, which is also the Board of Regents for the
University of Idaho (UI), appointed 14 (fourteen) members of faculty, administration,
alumni, community and legislative representatives along with Regents Agidius
and Thilo as a 16 (sixteen) member UI presidential search committee in June
2008. The committee met several times over the past six months reviewing
candidate resumes and offering feedback to the Regents on a job description for
the position. The committee recommended to the Regents that Dr. Dooley and Dr.
Nellis visit the campus personally, but gave no preferential ranking to any of
the finalist candidates. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Once
the on-campus interviews are completed, the committee's work is finished. The
State Board of Education will then interview the finalists before making their
final decision. Board President Milford Terrell has indicated he would like to
have a new president named by the end of this current academic year. </p>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; color: black;">All interested members of
the public and media are invited to attend one of the meetings at any of the
campus locations. Times and locations will be listed later this week on the
University of Idaho website. You can find that information by visiting <a href="http://www.uidaho.edu/">www.uidaho.edu</a>, then clicking on presidential

Damn! I didn't make the cut this time either.<br>
<br>
Not to give up hope, though.<br>
<br>
Four years and five budget cuts from now, when the UI President job is<br>
reduced to an IH position, they'll be looking for me, and I will not<br>
accept a dime less than ten dollars an hour.<br>
