AD Search - Status Report

From tonight's online Missoulian article written by Neighbor:

“We had a strong applicant pool,” Engstrom, who put the number of applicants at more than 60, said Thursday. “And we’re in the process of narrowing down to our finalists.”

"Sources have said Engstrom, who is chairing a search committee that numbers more than 20, will announce the finalists next week. He said Thursday that may be rushing things, but that the goal remains having an AD named by the start of fall semester on Aug. 27."

"O’Day was hired on July 30, 2005, at the end of a three-month search that included public forums with the finalists."

The candidate with the thickest skin wins.

IMHO, it seems like it should take a bit longer than this to find the right candidate. It would be nice to have one in place by the start of school, but I would rather have the right one than a more convenient choice.
 
:sleep: Odds are the AD choice will be a familiar name...This search - like Dennison's seven years ago - is most likely a sham. We can only hope that EK has the minimal smarts not to resort to the Jean pool.

Totally agree, which is one of the primary reasons we are in the midst of the problems we are now facing. This nepotism needs to stop, but I highly doubt that it will.
 
Engstrom shouldn't be allowed to make the decision of hiring the AD. He isn't qualified and the process will be nothing but window dressing. The most important search at present is Engstrom's replacement.
