ASU Finalist to Come from TTU Regents' Meeting?

The Texas Tech Board of Regents named an interim President for Texas Tech University at their meeting in El Paso.

Texas Tech University regents announced Friday that Lawrence Schovanec, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, will serve as interim president of the university while a replacement is being sought for Guy Bailey, who has resigned as president.

Might they also come up with a finalist for Angelo State's Presidential position, given their:

past practice of the Chancellor and the Board of Regents reviewing the recommendations of the Presidential Search Committee and making a determination of which finalist will be publicly announced.

Stay tuned.  If it doesn't come out of August's meeting in El Paso, it would need to come at a scheduled or called Board of Regents meeting.  Scheduled dates for 2012 are:

• October 12, 2012
• December 13-14, 2012

Internal candidate, outsider, only Chancellor Hance will know for sure.  It's literally his decision.

Update 8-13-12:  Texas Tech is still taking applications for ASU President.  They plan to narrow the search to eight, before recommending three candidates to Chancellor Kent Hance.
