Pernsteiner still can’t form search committee

1/31/2012: It’s more than 2 months since the OUS board fired Richard Lariviere. Board Chair Matt Donegan told us repeatedly at the Portland meeting that he was confident the board could find a qualified replacement quickly. But Chancellor George Pernsteiner still has not even been able to assemble a search committee. (Though he has hired Kim Morrison and the search firm “Diversified Search”.) We’ve been hearing for 3 weeks now that the committee announcement would be made within a few days. Tomorrow?

    Not a surprise. The longer he stalls the more likely there are no strong candidates and no strong UO Pres, so Pernsteiner and Donegan win.
