I believe the Idaho SBOE is proving to be a mess on this...from the Spokesman.....<br><div><span> <a href="http://www.spokesman.com/staff/betsy-russell/">Betsy Z. Russell</a><br> The Spokesman-Review</span></div><br>BOISE
- A third finalist for president of the University of Idaho, Dr. David
Dooley, provost and vice president at Montana State University, has
withdrawn his name from consideration, leaving just two of the original
five finalists in the running.<BR>The two: UI College of Law Dean Don Burnett, and former Colorado State University President Larry Penley.<BR>
Dooley said in a statement that he withdrew after “a series of cordial,
candid and informative discussions” between him and the state Board of
Education led to a mutual agreement “that our distinct visions for the
role, scope, and future of the University of Idaho were not the right
fit at this time.”<BR> Dr. Duane Nellis, Kansas State University
provost and senior vice president, withdrew from the running on March
11. Dooley and Nellis were the two candidates among the five finalists
that the state board’s search committee invited to meet with the public
in Coeur d’Alene, Moscow, Boise and Idaho Falls in February.<BR>Ham Shirvani, president of California State University-Stanislaus, withdrew from the running in mid-February.<BR>
Former UI President Tim White left last spring to become chancellor of
the University of California at Riverside. In June of 2008, Steven
Daley-Laursen, dean of the UI College of Natural Resources, was named
interim president.<BR><br /><hr />Express your personality in color! Preview and select themes for Hotmail®. <a href='http://www.windowslive-hotmail.com/LearnMore/personalize.aspx?ocid=TXT_MSGTX_WL_HM_express_032009#colortheme' target='_new'>See how.</a></body>
