USF presidential search

Officials also announced at Tuesday's Board of Trustees meeting that USF will hold town halls for the two presidential finalists the week of March 21.

The two candidates were thoroughly questioned as they offered different visions for the future of USF.

Interim president Rhea Law, who was asked to consider taking over as USF's next president, is a finalist along with retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Talley.

Law joins at least 11 other candidates who have already applied to succeed Steven Currall.

The USF Presidential Search Committee is expected to have candidates selected for the position by early next year.

Some speakers at a recent town hall want a consensus builder and problem solver, while others would prefer someone who knows both Florida's higher education and political systems.

The university is distributing a form that will assist in selecting a permanent replacement for Steven Currall.

“We are extremely disappointed that decisions to modify our approach are no longer being guided by science and data,” USF Faculty Senate President Timothy Boaz said.

Currall only lasted two years in the position before announcing his resignation last week. He leaves next month but will remain on campus as a professor.
