Looks like one of the 3 remaining candidates withdrew himself from the running. He seemed to have the strongest resume of the 3, so it’s a bit concerning. I hope it isn’t Austin Lane, just because he was forced to resign from Texas Southern, so I’m pushing for Susan Stapleton. https://thesouthern.com/news/local/siu/candidate-withdraws-from-siu-carbondale-chancellor-search/article_60c010e6-dba1-54a1-85f4-fe8a248bb5bd.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1
There have been 14 chancellors since 1998 (including interims). That 22 year stretch is equivalent to the length of time that Delyte Morris was the sole leader of the system. One of SIU's biggest issues as an institution has been lack of stability at the top. I have not been impressed with this search.

Very weak finalist list. Dr Lane is much more qualified to take this position, but his previous job certainly raises more than a few eyebrows. Dr Stapleton lacks the necessary experience to run SIU. Maybe best for SIU to reset and look again.
Start over! I am not impressed with any of the three. Very disappointing. Certainly don't have the kind of impressive background Montemagmo had (although I disagreed with his doing away with majors...but not with the emphasis on more synergy.) I also liked his willingness to stand up to crooked Randy "Backstabber" Dunn.
Lane was fired for an "admissions scandal involving thousands of dollars," whatever that means.
Meanwhile, we need an enrollment manager ASAP! (something stupe Brad Colwell could not manage to do in three years of overseeing enormous enrollment declines)
Jerry Kill for chancellor?! 😜

He is about due for another job change.

Start over. Dr Evans should have the clear choice and now he's dropped out.

As an Alum I fully intend to E Mail the Board Of Trustees especially J Gilbert and board members connected with SIU Carbondale and share my disappointment in these finalist.

Awesome hoping for a response doubtful I get one. This is such a critical hire and just not satisfied with the choices.
I’ll be sending an email soon as well.
Here's a novel idea. Post the job (without title) and recruit an executive and pay it at 150k with bonus for overachieving. The pool of people we've been drawing from over the 20 years has produced pitiful outcome.
