BOISE, Idaho—The state Board of Education says there are five finalists for the University of Idaho presidency and two candidates will visit the Moscow campus next month.
Kansas State University Provost Duane Nellis and Montana State University Provost David Dooley are the first to make scheduled visits to the main campus and branch locations.
Other finalists include Don Burnett, dean of the University of Idaho’s Law School; Larry Penley, former president of Colorado State University; and Ham Shirvani, president of Cal State Stanislaus.
The search for a new leader began last year after Tim White resigned to take a job at the University of California-Riverside. The board picked dean Steven Daley-Laursen to serve as temporary president.
Nellis is scheduled to visit several campus locations next week, while Dooley will visit the following week.
