University of Wyoming selects finalists for acting president

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - The University of Wyoming has narrowed its choice to three candidates for acting president.

The Laramie Boomerang reports a six-member committee of the university’s board on Friday selected Chris Boswell, UW’s former vice president for governmental and community affairs; Bill Mai, the university’s former vice president for finance and administration; and Neil Theobald, who replaced Mai last July.

Trustee Macey Moore says the board will meet in executive sessions next week to choose the acting president. Staff Senate President Renee Ballard and Faculty Senate Chairman Ken Chestek will be invited to interview the finalists during the board meetings.

The board plans to vote for an acting president next Friday.
