NEW ORLEANS - The University of New Orleans, looking to name a new president, has narrowed the field to five semifinalists with interviews scheduled for the week of Aug. 28.
A search committee on Aug. 17 named the candidates for the post which has been open since the end of June.
The semifinalists are:
- Kathy Johnson, chief academic officer of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis
- Former Dillard University President Walter Kimbrough, who led the school for a decade
- UNO Provost Darrell Kruger
- Delgado Community College Chancellor Larissa Littleton-Steib
- Michael Moore, Vice President for Academic Affairs of the University of Arkansas System
One of them will fill the job left open when John Nicklow stepped down to lead the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Fla.
Jeannine O’Rourke, provost and vice president for academic affairs for the University of Louisiana System since 2016, is serving as UNO’s interim president.
Following the interviews, at least two names will be presented to the university’s board of supervisors for review. (The AP 08/21/23)
