By Joseph Lyell —
Board of trustees Chairman David Grissom said at least 47 candidates are being seriously considered in the search for U of L’s next president. Before the Feb. 15 deadline, 138 names had been submitted.
“I’ve had a chance to see some of the applicants. I can assure you that it’s a deep and rich pool that we’ll have to consider,” Grissom said.
On March 8, trustees will meet with search firm representative Bill Funk to narrow the field down to eight to ten candidates.
