News List of provost finalists released Gogue to interview final three candidates before making his ultimate decision Cougar News Staff The provost search committee announced Monday its list of three finalists for the position of UH and the UH System's academic chief. The finalists are Donald J. Foss, dean of arts and sciences at Florida State University; Gerardo Gonzalez, university dean of the School of Education at Indiana University; and Charles Johnson, liberal arts dean at Texas A&M University. Committee Chairman Paul Chu said one of the initial five candidates, University of New Mexico Dean of Arts and Sciences Reed Dasenbrock, withdrew from the search before the short list was compiled. Kathryn Seidel of the University of Central Florida did not make the final cut. The five candidates who visited the campus this spring were the second group of would-be provosts. A search committee identified six candidates last year, but UH President Jay Gogue did not pick any of them for the job, saying UH and the System needed "a better fit" than those candidates represented. Gogue will review and interview this spring's finalists and may choose a provost from among them. No timetable for that decision has been announced. The provost, who is also senior vice chancellor for academic affairs for the UH System, oversees all academic affairs at the University and coordinates academic programs with the provosts from the other three System universities. Former optometry dean Jerald Strickland is filling
the provost position on an interim basis and will do so until a permanent
provost is named.
