Bob Hoover, president of the College of Idaho in Caldwell and former University of Idaho president, has been named the new CEO of the Idaho Community Foundation, a position he’ll start in mid-July. Alice Hennessey will continue as interim president and CEO of the statewide nonprofit until Hoover starts; the foundation manages more than 400 individual charitable funds and has assets of about $55 million. Hoover has been C of I president since 2003, the year he left UI amid the Unviersity Place scandal. In March of 2008, Hoover announced his retirement as C of I president, effective in June of 2009.

Well, perhaps he can destroy the Idaho Community Foundation, too. The UI is still suffering from his mismanagement.

This gives me very little faith in Foundations. Wow.

Hey, Hoover did more positive things at the UI than the previous 3 presidents. He’s a great choice to head the ICF.
