WSU says candidates won’t be named in search for president

The governing board for Washington State University doesn’t intend to reveal the names of candidates for that university’s top job before appointing a new president next year, an official heading the college’s national search process says.

Michael C. Worthy, a member of the WSU Board of Regents and chairman of the university’s 25-member Presidential Search Advisory Committee, said that following the months-long process to identify and consider candidates, he expects regents to privately “narrow the list” of eventual finalists before voting in a public session to name a new president.
