BATON ROUGE, La. Seven professionals have submitted applications to become the new president of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. All seven are based outside of Louisiana, representing six different states and China.

The applicants are:

James William Berry, Ph.D., Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana

Peter Fos, Ph.D., D.D.S., Dean of the College of Health at the University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg

Full applications are available for the public to review in the UL Lafayette campus library and electronically on the UL Systems website, www.ulsystem.net.

The presidential search committee held its first meeting and public hearing June 14 on the UL Lafayette campus. Desired qualifications for a new president were compiled from public input at that meeting and through a special email, web comment form and phone line set up for the search. Those qualifications are also posted on the UL Systems website.

A special You Tube site, www.youtube.com/ulsystem, houses video clips of the entire June 14 meetings.

The next committee meeting and public hearing are scheduled for September 12 in Lafayette. Later in the year public candidate interviews are planned with the expectation of naming a new president by December.

Voting members on the presidential search committee are ULS Board members Paul Aucoin, Elsie Burkhalter, Robert Hale, Jeffrey Jenkins, Renee Lapeyrolerie, Jimmy Long, Sr., Wayne Parker, Olinda Ricard (student member), and Winfred Sibille, as well as UL Lafayette Faculty Senate representative John Meriwether.

Serving on the search committee in an advisory, non-voting capacity are community member and UL Lafayette Foundation representative James Prince and UL Lafayette Student Government Association President Candace Urbanowski. UL System President Sally Clausen serves as the committee chair.

President Ray Authement, the longest-standing public university president in the country at 33 years, announced April 27 he will retire from UL Lafayette.

Cossack, obviously you revel in the idea that U of L Lafayette might be below our Tier 4 status.

The most important point to notice is that Pete Fos is looking to leave - Pete has a spine unlike the other dean we have on campus - Gandy (I don't count "interim" folks, and am sorry that Susan S. doesn't merit that level for the Grad School). The loss of Foss will be just another step in our opening a new 5th tier in University status - TO THE TOP - we will be the top 5th tier institution!

OM

Is applying for a higher level position the same as "looking to leave"? Dean to president is a big step up, and one can hardly blame someone for making the attempt if he thinks he has a shot.

Are you suggesting that Pete Fos would have been a better choice than our current President?
