There was apparantly never an attempt at one. I guess you just have to go through the motion.

Joe Savoie is fine by me.

In a Fall of non-stop bad news, this is easily the best news we've had in a while.

It's not like T-Joe would remain Comissioner of Higher Ed with a new governor.

T-Joe will fight the good fight for us and he knows the State system intimately.

It is easy to see who the front runners are.

He does know the political ins and outs and that will serve us well. Personally, I would be comfortable with either he or Landry, but my vote is for T Joe!!

He is a great consideration for the job. I grew up with his daughter and they (the family) have always had UL's best interest in mind.

I personally don't know either Dr Savoie or Dr. Landry, but after reading about them, I'm feeling a little better about the candidates we have for our President. I appreciate those of you who post some of your personal experiences with them. I hope they support athletics on top of the primary mission, which is to make UL the best Educational/Research University it can be.

It's down to five. Considering the quality of the canditates it's a wonder it took them so long.

Five candidates emerged from a field of 38 Wednesday in the search for the next UL president. Two of the five are familiar to UL faculty, students, alumni and the community, UL Vice President for Academic Affairs Steve Landry and Louisiana's Commissioner of Higher Education E. Joseph "T-Joe" Savoie. Three of the finalists are from other states. Search committee members spent nearly two hours in closed session narrowing the candidates list Wednesday. They emerged with five applicants that they believe meet the qualifications and characteristics that students, faculty, staff and the community said at open forums they want in the next UL president.
