Search party

The continuing search, umm, continues, for a new, buzz-generating President for what is still the only university in the province. Via the Telegram:

Memorial University’s Presidential Search Committee held its fourth meeting Saturday attended by the full 12-person committee, as well as support staff and two consultants from Janet Wright and Associates, the executive search firm contracted by the university to assist in the initiative.

[...]

The committee and consultants plan to continue efforts in the coming months with a view to concluding a successful search by early 2010.

Really, now, what's the rush? 2010 will be only the third calendar year after Dr. Axel Meisen left the post in December, 2007.
