Presidential search committee to secure top 10 candidates by Feb. 12

The University of Idaho presidential search committee announced it would narrow the applicant pool to 10 candidates by Feb. 12, according to an email sent to UI faculty, staff and students Wednesday morning.

After selecting the top 10, the committee will narrow the list to just five candidates, who will visit Moscow in late February or March.

The State Board of Education, which the UI president would work under, will conduct interviews in late March before selecting the new president, according to the email from Hiring Committee Chair and State Board member Emma Atchley and board member Don Soltman.

The committee met last December to finalize dates and the process for providing their top five candidates to the Idaho State Board of Education, according to the email.

The committee also announced it has created a presidential search website to collect feedback on the candidates after their campus visits.
