twitterEditorial: A lengthy search sure isn’t helpful
Thursday, May 11, 2000 | 9:21 a.m.
The selection Tuesday of Jane Nichols as interim chancellor, while a sound choice, obscured the fact that the University and Community College System of Nevada has been dragging its feet to find a permanent replacement. Last July Chancellor Richard Jarvis resigned and Tom Anderes, a vice chancellor, became interim chancellor. But Anderes, too, announced recently he was going to leave for greener pastures, which prompted the elevation of Nichols, who also was a vice chancellor.
A search committee says it expects, through a national search, to find a permanent replacement by this fall -- but this would be more than one year after Jarvis' departure. It is difficult to find qualified people -- especially for a thankless position in which someone has to answer to an often-feuding Board of Regents -- but this lengthy vacancy has been a disservice to the students and faculty of these institutions.
