Has any information leaked out regarding the presidential search progress? I was hoping we would have a new president by the spring semester.

Probably the most important hire in SFA history since the first prez.

Have you thrown your hat in the ring, Texan? After all, it would be an upgrade from East Texas Governor.

Any updates on this?

The last I heard, interviews were to take place January 18-19. Not in Nacogdoches.

We should be decently close to a decision on President right?
I am hoping that the meeting today announces the finalist. Yes, things are at an absolute standstill on campus. Understandably, an interim president does not want to make any major decisions knowing that the next president is just weeks/months away from taking over. But budgeting is already beginning for the '24-'25 academic year and the worry is that unless they take over very quickly, the new president may not be able to actually change much of anything until Fall of 2025.SFAJack_76 said:
It is possible (probable?) that a sole finalist is named early to mid-March. State law requires a 21 day period before the sole finalist can be named President. No names, other than the sole finalist, will be made public. I suspect the new President will not start before the end of the spring semester. It can't happen too soon. I hear from a number of folks that many things are at a standstill until then.

They voted to invite the finalists to interview with the Regents at a future meeting.

I'm going to approach this with cautious optimism. The caution is because I was too optimistic about Gordon and that optimism turned out to be tragically wrong.
