Greiner said.
The committee hopes to have a
? "marathon meeting" in early April
51 to determine a list of semi-finalists
c' for intensive, two or three day inr~
terviews at USC.
Greiner said the committee also
will try to make available the
n names of finalists and a statement
y of his or her individual academic
philosophy.
"We want these candidates to
~ come to USC when school is still
in session because we want stuw
n dents, faculty and staff to have the
oppurtunity to meet them," Greiner
^ explained.
Once this series of final inter- 1
IC
i views is complete, Greiner and the
committee hope to compile a list
of about three to five candidates.
^ The final short list will be submitted
to USC President John
Palms. Palms will make the final
decision and holds the right to
^ choose, refuse or call back any
nominee he wishes.
e
n Greiner said he has spoken with
raims on numerous occasions to
r- review the committee's progress,
e Greiner described the ideal candidate
as one who has an excellent
e scholarly record, extensive teaches
ing experience and significant adn
minislralive experience in a higher
institution of learning. _
