Ed Board To Fill UI Prez Post By 5/15
The 10-month-long search for a UI president has been unsuccessful, with the top two candidates and another secondary candidate dropping out earlier this year. Terrell pledged the position will be filled by the end of the school year on May 15. He declined to answer direct questions about the status of the search, but said the board is engaged in "direct negotiations." Last week the Idaho Statesman reported that some UI supporters think Terrell's BSU boosterism is scaring away candidates. Terrell is a BSU graduate and a past president of its athletic association. He often wears that support on his sleeve at board meetings, but said when it comes to board work, the schools the board oversees are treated the same/Joel Mills, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
Question: Do you think the search for a new UIdaho president has been hampered by the presence of a staunch Boise State booster as Education Board chairman?
