Two finalists have been selected for the position of vice chancellor for administration at the University of Colorado Boulder.
The search committee, chaired by Steve McNally, senior associate vice chancellor for budget and finance, has recommended two internal candidates, Kambiz Khalili and Louise Vale for the position, according to a news release from the university.
Two open forums will be held for the candidates in the University Memorial Center in the Aspen Rooms this week. Khalili’s open forum will be Wednesday from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m., and Vale’s open forum will be Thursday from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m.
Khalili received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Northern Colorado and master’s degree in business administration from Colorado State University, according to the release. He has been at CU Boulder since 2003, overseeing the UMC and Environmental Center, while working as director of Housing and Dining Services.
Vale received a bachelor’s degree in comprehensive business management from the University of Nebraska-Kearney and a master’s degree in management from the University of Colorado Denver. She has served in various administrative, budget, finance and internal audit positions since joining the University of Colorado in 1990, according to the release.
The position of vice chancellor for administration reports to Kelly Fox, senior vice chancellor and chief financial officer, who will make the final hiring decision. If neither candidate is selected after interviews, the search could expand nationally. The position has been held on interim basis by Jeffrey Lipton since August 2011.
