The names of a dozen selected to serve on the 12-member screening committee for the University of Idaho’s next president’s search were announced Tuesday, according to a press release from the Idaho State Board of Education.
Board member Emma Atchley will chair the committee. Committee members include: board member Don Soltman; ASUI President Nicole Skinner; UI alumni Linda Davidson; Assistant Vice President of Alumni Relations Kathy Barnard; Faculty Senate Chair Aaron Johnson; Coeur d’Alene Tribal Member Chris Meyer; UI faculty member Holly Wichman; Interim Center Executive Director Lee Ostrom; UI faculty member Sydney Freeman; UI alumni Stephen Parrott; and UI alumni Holly Koole.

The screening committee is due to hold its first meeting early this month, the release states. The university will soon establish a webpage with information on the search progress, according to the release.
