    A search for a predecessor is unnecessary.  They have all been
    found, and their pictures are on the administration building's walls
    outside the President's office.  A search for a successor is not
    advisable while a serving incumbent who has not indicated
    resignation remains in office because, at the least, it would be a
    distracting process for many people.<br clear="none">

    If you want to start something for the University, consider this: 
    It may be the case that the University of Idaho could be a more
    capable, more powerful, and a better steward of its resources and
    opportunities if it were a private university not so beholden to the
    politics, policies, and other pees currently associated with the
    University's ties with the State of Idaho.  For one thing, it may
    well be that, as a private University, the institution could become
    more successful in raising its endowment to higher, and more
    productive, levels.  (And, just in case you're wondering, there are
    private land-grant universities.)<br clear="none">
    <br clear="none">
    Of course, the process of going private would be an excellent
    opportunity to initiate a zero-based review of the University,
    top-to-bottom, inside-out, and every-which-way-but-loose.  That
