EUGENE, Ore. — The search for a new University of Oregon president has collected 250 nominations so far with more possible before the March 9 deadline to enter the hiring pool.
The Board of Trustees member heading the search committee, Connie Ballmer, talked about the process Wednesday on campus.
The university is looking for a replacement for President Michael Gottfredson who left the post abruptly last year.
The Register-Guard reports the search committee plans to winnow the candidates down to eight or 10 semifinalists in March. Trustees could be interviewing three to five finalists by April.
