Jeffrey S. Lehman, dean of the Law School and chair of the
Presidential Search Advisory Committee (PSAC), presented the committee's
first progress report to the Presidential Search Committee (PSC) last month.
Lehman said that the search was on track and that "we have already accumulated a large number of impressive prospects and the list is growing every day."
The committee has a well-functioning office, an effective relationship with the search consultant and has sought advice from the Office of the General Counsel, Lehman said.
The PSAC has advertised the position in national publications, met with student leaders and focus groups, sent a letter to faculty asking for suggestions and met with academic leadership. These outreach efforts will continue through the summer.
The PSAC has received and continues to receive many names and applications, Lehman said, adding that "each member of the committee understands and is committed to maintaining confidentiality."
Lehman assured the Regents that the PSAC would report back to the PSC with a list of prospects and an "especially distinguished list of five candidates" by September 1.
